roughly milking the goats and cows
Shoveling the pigs their slop,
throwing chicken feed to the hens walking about
They do the grunt labor,
always with their mind on the feast
Puffing up people’s chest...

Garden Hummer Conundrum
Poor Ruby Hummer looks confused,
searching for her favorite feeder.
It was right there when it last was used,
in September, in the cedar.

The raging currents

Grease and Pickles
A thousand vents for blowing grease
the burger bleeds and trickles.

to sell their grease and pickles.

The hamburger's inflection.
A special sauce to fatten up
the liver...
