1. ‘Pig’
2.  
3. I can be doing something better than this
4. the vowels shoveled into the thoughts
5. the sentences darting around like
6. children at musical chairs
7. the Poem is Forming from my wet
8. raining day, muddy
9.  
10. It keeps me like a heroin
11. atheist task, barnyard task
12. i try to finish the words
13. I think what you think about
14. rhymes
15. I block myself at a thought that would have
16. filled fat the
17. subject trough
18. I would rather try smoke rings
19. (two circles within a circle)
20. or play at ‘eat without hands’
21. but it needs itself, recycling itself
22. garbage
23.  
24. It is coming towards me
25.  
26. I must be the solids carpenter
27. or these wooden words (fenced in)
28. must meet themselves without me
29. or worse I try to be its reader
30.  
31. nails and slipping on two toes
32. The farmer and I hammer away at each other
33. nothing comes from us
34. victory or food
35.  
36. the sleeping on sides
37. the snotty crying
38. the chains so
39. delivered at the trucks curly tail gate
40. I remember God, yours is the one that eats me.
41.  
42. pig
43. now that’s a word you throw at me with egg shells.
44.  
45. and the poem is forged
46. elsewhere
47. and so it enters here
48. as if no one else would have it
49. in this sty.
50.  
51. Pig
