Iii: Pig-Watchers and Pigs
Darest Vicar –
They were like pig-watchers
Watching over the canvass
Of new songs harping campus liberty;
Darest Vicar –
They were security women:
For they were men
Separated from the cause of man!
Security women: swollen of bellies
(Now as if aware of little old tricks)
Stood still like the world spying
The manhood of a proud pig and pigs;
Security women wisened by securites
(Used on men of the mines: here!)
Only stood still spying –
Then, from this rostrum of fake sermons
Your canvas lay bared:
A corpse withdrew from the cant;
Your legs descended swiftly:
Pig-watchers and pigs escaped via backyard.
