Somewhere
it exists.
In-person if not
in perpetuity

Sightings as
ubiquitous as those
of Sasquatch
similar levels
of proof

As elusive and
mythological as your
typical
four-hoofed
unicorn
possibly as extinct
though
reliable sources say…

It’s out there
somewhere

I know it
and want the proof
not some grainy
old footage
not a
photoshopped
meme

I need actual proof
in the wild
captured and caged
no longer
matters
I know
know in my soul
someone can find
it.

Set a trap
pretend you are
Salome
and bring me
on a platter
silver or melamine
one
good old fashioned
run-of-the-mill
normal.
