Even in confinement, the horses refuse to give up easily. They stomp and batter at the grating, and resist every effort to trailer them to a larger enclosure. Robison must cut off the colts from their mothers for the trip to the adoption distribution center. One young upstart sends him flying against the fence, and it takes his best hammerlock to wrestle him down...
Thymus Vulgaris, named for the thyme that o'ercreeps the mother's trailer (get it?), has an artsy, inexplicable device: every now and then the characters realize that they're in front of an audience, so they get all self-conscious. Whenever the prattle becomes too boring or naturalistic someone will give a little wave, as if to say, "Hey, this isn't T.V. We're in a theatre. And we're just like you."

A trailer van bulging with shotguns, tear gas and riot gear waits outside the prison walls...

Carrying the last of six mammoth diesel engines from a South Boston warehouse where they had collected dust for five years, the trailer encountered a small group of Brookline and Mission Hill protestors as it entered Harvard's controversial Medical Area Total Energy Plant (MATEP). There were some black balloons held by the sleepy-eyed outside. There were even two minor arrests. But by daylight, the last engine was behind the plant's gates; in a few hours...
