Driving Past 27 Pigs in the Middle of June With the Windows Open
- Pigs don't care for bacon.
- I flash by, an orange blur to
- Pig-poor eyes, staring
- Blearily, thoughts
- Of sows, and slop and mud
- Percolating behind them.
- Unhurried pork on the hoof,
- Cloven (could Satan be a pig?) to
- Slog through mud and hay
- And yesterday's pork product.
- Finally settling with porcine permanence,
- Piggy heads hatching no plots.
