down on the farm

i visit 
my friend's farm out in the country.
he has
sheep and cattle,
chickens.
a cow that he squeezes
for milk.
there's a goat
up on the hill making
goat noises.
a few fat pink
pigs are
rolling around
in the mud
in the pig pen.
they look very happy.
his wife is on the porch
ringing
the dinner bell.
he hands me
a pair of dungaree overalls,
and says
put these on.
it's what we wear out here.
we're having
apple pie
for dessert.
