PIG
DANCE PIG!
One of the most depraved characters in all American Lit
has to be Judge Holden Blood Meridian Little girls disappear
whenever he is near Little boys kept as pets shot in head
when playtime over splayed upon his lap In the final 1/4 of
the tome the idiot brother of a carnival man becomes the Judge’s
property
Now on a leash raped with regularity Judge often naked Huge+
pale +hairless with small eyes Giant pigman Enormous infant
Says he’ll never die Debauched God of America Land of the free
Judge says that a man seeks his destiny but no matter the detours
will always come to the selfsame reckoning
All of us bears in a collar +frilly tutu +chains bears that dance
bears that don’t Yesterday a near crucified comrade wrote: And all
the sinners saints Carrying his cross across the Americas to get to
the very same place The crucible where Lucifer lays his soul to waste
Yet it was he who mailed me regularly small talismans a crown a scarred
heart the hebrew symbol Chai Life Small inducements to keep on going
After all it’s a great thing the dance Dance dog! Dance Pig! Stop searching
+save your last dance for me And rail rail against the tethered destiny prophecy
*Research has shown that those who do experience: shortness of breath blurred
vision heart palpitations erections +hallucinations After which the leather strap
springs open

“ESTRAGON: I can’t go on like this.
VLADIMIR: That’s what you think.”
“POZZO: I don’t seem to be able…(long hesitation) to depart.
ESTRAGON: Such is life.”
