salt and pepper shakers

the hippo
salt and pepper shakers
are clever.
bought in Pennsylvania
on some
winding road,
porcelain
pink pigs too
and little brown dogs,
from
Missouri, or was it
down
on the Bayou?
a rooster
and chicken
are over there on the sill.
and here
on the table is
a black and white cat,
both
with tails,
each from London,
or was it Ireland?
it's what a marriage
brings
home
when things
are going well.
