PIGS<\/span>
 <\/span>

although Anne<\/span>
is twelve years<\/span>
younger than me<\/span>
we were both born<\/span>
in the year<\/span>
of the pig<\/span>
 <\/span>
which I reckon<\/span>
makes us both<\/span>
piglets<\/span>
 <\/span>
Anne collects pigs<\/span>
which is maybe<\/span>
why she hangs out<\/span>
with me<\/span>
 <\/span>
and why<\/span>
maybe one day<\/span>
I'll find myself<\/span>
hanging on her wall<\/span>
like some kind<\/span>
of bizarre trophy<\/span>
