Bait Goat

There is a
distance where
magnets pull,
we feel, having
held them 
back. Likewise
there is a
distance where
words attract.
Set one out
like a bait goat 
and wait and 
seven others
will approach.
But watch out:
roving packs can
pull your word
away. You 
find your stake 
yanked and some 
rough bunch
to thank.
