Pigs might...

Who says they can’t?

Is there an omniscient

oinker monitor float-

ing in the same tree?

Who has the right

to tell watchers

who dream

the impossible

that pigs might…?

In deepest despair

we need hope,

need dreams

to fall back on.

A competitive spirit…

 

Who says we can’t?

I need to soar

above my world

sometimes, believe

there’s something

sizzling just

around the corner,

if I could only see ~

take a butchers

into the future

and grab

a curly tail…

Written after coffee with a friend at a Plant Nursery which sold metal pigs and displayed them in a tree :o)) I'd love to post the picture here, but can't figure out how to do it.

And why shouldn't they? A lovely well thought out poem, nicely written.
