The swine is a clean creature
I don’t care what you’ve heard
it’s not half as filthy as surfing bird
and I should know, yes, know I sherd.
I’ve been a pig, and it’s ignominious
the way they treat us
so I’m glad
that I’ve gotten over that!
Everybody loves bacon, sure,
but that was me, for a while.
I don’t give a damn what you believe:
That was me. On fire. In a pan!
I’ve had some pork
in Brooklyn New York
but never again. Since I’ve been a pig,
I couldn’t eat one, too.
You don’t get what it’s like
to anthropomorphize yourself
with the different characteristics of the different animals.
You don’t understand
what it is
to be me
or a cat.
Or a dog.
Or a zebra-emu hybrid.
Or a pig!
Oink.
