Pigs is pigs

Four legs good, two legs...well, not so tasty, we hope. Andrew shares some photos of the pigs at the Columbia County Fair, but I add some thoughts as to the awkward relationship between a pig and its own deliciousness. To be continued, at blog.amynelsonhahn.info

Animal farm

Such ill manners
and yet such lovely
pink ears --
no wonder all the young girls
adore you so,
even though
you root in the muck.
Everyone needs a rumbler
to stir things up a bit.
Hard to wear out such a
fathomless welcome
as a maiden heart;
but everyone does know --
bacon is tasty of a morning;
and crisp.
Maybe in another life
you'll be the king presiding,
passing judgment
on sweeter injustices
than simply
being good to eat.
