00:00:00.615 --> 00:00:02.880 align:middle line:84%
And her delight is
about her favorite food,

00:00:02.880 --> 00:00:06.960 align:middle line:84%
which for a pet pig
whose humans really

00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:11.520 align:middle line:84%
put a good deal of
thought into her regimen

00:00:11.520 --> 00:00:13.670 align:middle line:84%
so that she didn't
get overweight.

00:00:13.670 --> 00:00:16.260 align:middle line:90%


00:00:16.260 --> 00:00:19.050 align:middle line:84%
It's a little strange but
on very special occasions

00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:20.910 align:middle line:84%
like birthdays and
so forth she did

00:00:20.910 --> 00:00:25.770 align:middle line:84%
get her favorite food of all
the world, and it was chocolate.

00:00:25.770 --> 00:00:27.690 align:middle line:90%
And that is her delight.

00:00:27.690 --> 00:00:29.550 align:middle line:84%
And then there's Her
Judgment, which is

00:00:29.550 --> 00:00:32.205 align:middle line:90%
a judgment on the human race.

00:00:32.205 --> 00:00:38.320 align:middle line:90%


00:00:38.320 --> 00:00:40.230 align:middle line:84%
And I guess I should
read you that one.

00:00:40.230 --> 00:00:42.750 align:middle line:84%
And then there's Pig
Song, it's a little song.

00:00:42.750 --> 00:00:48.720 align:middle line:84%
And Her Vision, which is of
the mystic great boar passing

00:00:48.720 --> 00:00:49.950 align:middle line:90%
in the sky at night.

00:00:49.950 --> 00:00:51.630 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:51.630 --> 00:00:55.470 align:middle line:84%
And then there's a little prayer
to Isis, Forget Not Thy Pig.

00:00:55.470 --> 00:00:59.940 align:middle line:84%
And then, finally, Isis
Speaks and tells her

00:00:59.940 --> 00:01:02.790 align:middle line:84%
that she will indeed
keep an eye on her

00:01:02.790 --> 00:01:06.270 align:middle line:90%
for the remainder of her life.

00:01:06.270 --> 00:01:10.910 align:middle line:84%
Her Judgment then-- which is
not the last poem but the Isis

00:01:10.910 --> 00:01:12.750 align:middle line:84%
Speaks is the last
one but this one

00:01:12.750 --> 00:01:16.350 align:middle line:84%
comes before those
I've just mentioned.

00:01:16.350 --> 00:01:17.550 align:middle line:90%
Her Judgment.

00:01:17.550 --> 00:01:21.150 align:middle line:84%
I love my own humans
and their friends,

00:01:21.150 --> 00:01:26.730 align:middle line:84%
but let it be said, that my
litters may heed it well,

00:01:26.730 --> 00:01:29.880 align:middle line:90%
their race is dangerous.

00:01:29.880 --> 00:01:32.610 align:middle line:84%
They mock the race
of Swine, and call

00:01:32.610 --> 00:01:35.670 align:middle line:90%
"swinish" men they condemn.

00:01:35.670 --> 00:01:37.980 align:middle line:90%
Have they not appetites?

00:01:37.980 --> 00:01:43.230 align:middle line:84%
Do we plan for slaughter
to fill our troughs?

00:01:43.230 --> 00:01:48.510 align:middle line:84%
Their fat ones, despised,
waddle large-footed.

00:01:48.510 --> 00:01:52.920 align:middle line:84%
Their thin ones hoard
inedible discs and scraps

00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:54.960 align:middle line:90%
called "money".

00:01:54.960 --> 00:02:00.330 align:middle line:84%
Us they fatten, us
they exchange for this.

00:02:00.330 --> 00:02:04.980 align:middle line:84%
And they breed us not that our
life may be whole, pig-life,

00:02:04.980 --> 00:02:09.630 align:middle line:84%
thriving alongside dog-life,
bird-life, grass-life,

00:02:09.630 --> 00:02:13.200 align:middle line:84%
all the lives of
earth-creatures,

00:02:13.200 --> 00:02:16.830 align:middle line:90%
but that we may be devoured.

00:02:16.830 --> 00:02:21.450 align:middle line:84%
Yet, it's not being killed
for food destroys us.

00:02:21.450 --> 00:02:24.570 align:middle line:90%
Other animals hunt one another.

00:02:24.570 --> 00:02:30.090 align:middle line:84%
But only humans, I think,
first corrupt their prey

00:02:30.090 --> 00:02:33.630 align:middle line:84%
as we are corrupted,
stuffed with temptation

00:02:33.630 --> 00:02:38.800 align:middle line:84%
until we can't move, crowded
until we turn on each other.

00:02:38.800 --> 00:02:42.600 align:middle line:90%
Our name and nature abused.

00:02:42.600 --> 00:02:46.530 align:middle line:84%
It is their greed
overfattens us.

00:02:46.530 --> 00:02:51.720 align:middle line:84%
Dirt we lie in is never
unclean as their minds who

00:02:51.720 --> 00:02:57.870 align:middle line:84%
take our deformed lives without
thought, without respect

00:02:57.870 --> 00:03:00.330 align:middle line:90%
for the Spirit Pig.

00:03:00.330 --> 00:03:01.000 align:middle line:90%
