Minotaur

Walking through the labyrinth,
I wondered if the minotaur
thought as a man or as a bull
if his feet made sense to his
horned head or if he
was always searching
for hooves.
I wondered if the omnivorous
thoughts of a hungry man
overcame the will of teeth
designed for grazing.
I wondered why his thin
human neck never
snapped under the
weight of his horns
and how his fur grew--
did it end abruptly beneath
his ears or did it gradually
trail off into peach fuzz
halfway down his back, not entirely
protecting him from sunburn?
