"horses are easy"

i spent a long long time in the conversation

trying to fill the space up with words because

of all the times it wasn't as easy to do that and this time all the words were about how hard it was for me to draw horses. it was strange because i had just been watching a film with horses in it just wishing i had the skills to draw them when i picked up the phone and said: what are you doing? and the answer was "drawing a horse." i went on for a long long time about how i wished i could do it and how hard it was and when the words finally quit pouring out, without any grandeur of silence or space or anything at all, not even a sigh, he just said: "horses are easy."
