Somewhere in Texas

"Eat a pig sandwich" in neon  on
the side of a pig   a young buff pig with
handsome twirled tail     and neon Coca-Cola scripted on 
that famous red background   below the pig      and under
"pig stands inc."    on a metal strip painted turquoise       it's
A hog wild sign  

There's a hog wild sign  somewhere in Texas  

where a pig up in the air       strutting    through the sky
does a pig trot    fetching our gaze    and we trot along for a few seconds 
driving by          on our way        out of Texas.

Or maybe the pig   has a brilliant idea   sending this card
of himself to Phyllis    from Valerie  asking about a job
something a bit more intellectual    more agnostic  ready to move
up in the world    his name in a different kind          of light
