Why Bigfoot Doesn't Get Mentioned in Many Poems

Oh, those poets like to be taken seriously.
Full of pretentious and conspicuous art,
their words float with deep meaning.
An overabundance of civilizing
and making things just right,
while Bigfoot is excluded.

I saw him on Highway 97 once
on my way to Bend.
Haven't told very many people that either,
because the few I have confided in
have looked at me strangely
and changed the subject.

So I thought I should mention him here.
