Bigfoot

by Franco Bertucci

I want the skeptics and the scoffers to be wrong.
I want Bigfoot to be out there,
except when we are camping in the foothills at night
and are jolted awake by the very loud cry
of a dying cow on the mountain behind us
where there are no cows.
Then I don't mind if Bigfoot is a hoax.
