Chupacabra Circles

By

– January 28, 2012Posted in: Local Writers & Poets, Poetry

Around different circles
Where questions of validity are shared
Answers always never understood by all

Around literature circles
Never to write poems about it
Never existing in known mythology

Around scientific circles
Laugh at the mention of the beast
What zoological leg does it stand on?

Around legal circles
Illusive then, from proper representation
Can never make the court date

Around chupacabra circles
Plotting and planning the apocalypse
Catching a world laughing at what it says can’t happen
