INTERVIEW WITH AN ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICER WHO MUST RESPOND TO A CALL CONCERNING THE PRESENCE OF AN UNWANTED LUPUS.

Does one say Lupusses or Lupi
if one has to keep track of more than one?
(I hope it’s a single Lupus.) Where’s the Lupus?
Kind of like Where’s the party?
only it’s hardly a party, it’s a Lupus.
The Lupus is not a simulation.
The Lupus is not a taxidermy.
I hope the Lupus is not very Lupussy.
Performing Lupus de Lupus
at the circus in an airplane or a bicycle.
I need to know—its general whereabouts—
—& leanings—& vaccination record—
b/c I need to keep some very important people
(I mean supervisors) in the Lupus!
