Gadarene

Must I place the posts as close as those at the zoo,
in order to keep my Gadarene in,
or do I place a single post for you to run a cabled circle?
What color shock collar should I choose for you?
And the muzzled bite bit?
And where shall I find the raw hindquarters you prefer?
Or do I simply have mercy and take you back to the tombs?
It was not a good time to take on possessed things
But still we scheme
And try to convince the neighbors we must have
balanced natures
That too many cats and dogs roam
That too many predators leer upon our little ones
That too many Witnesses, politicians and
Latter-Some day Saints knock continually
Swine herds procreate on our lawns
That we need peace
Quiet
Help natural selection along
It was a noble thought
A Gadarene in every neighborhood.
