la chancha


"Para qué nací bonita, mejor me hubiera quedado como las chachas de mi pueblo."
- Maria Felix, La Doña


her body became thick

her eyes condensed into tiny specks

her head grew larger and larger

her legs shrank shorter and shorter

a small curly tail sprouted

a strong snout emerged

she knew the witch’s spell could not last

she knew the magic gems would save her

LA CHANCHA snorted with laughter and continued to dance...
