Russell Edson Poem

                          A Performance at Hog Theater

  There was once a hog theater where hogs performed as men, had men
been hogs.

  One hog said, I will be a hog in a field which has found a mouse which
is being eaten by the same hog which is in the field and which has found
the mouse, which I am performing as my contribution to the performer's
art.

  Oh let's just be hogs, cried an old hog.

  And so the hogs streamed out of the theater crying, only hogs,
only hogs...
