Pig on the Loose at Night
They were on their way home from a concert
in Middlebury, Vermont after dark,
when a strange phantom materialized
at the outer reach of the car’s headlights.
As it approached in the opposite lane,
the ghostly form was soon revealed to be
a huge sow trotting north on Route 7
with a very worried look on her face.
A pig on the loose raises some questions -
especially one of her size and gait
on the run at night, nowhere near a farm.
But she went past them without incident
and they firmly agreed with each other
that she might want a few answers herself.
