Extinction Loop Loup-Garou

So let’s say something,
Maybe government
Or corporation,
Resuscitated
The Neanderthals,

Then discreetly placed
Small populations
In the countryside.
How long before fear
Of strange folks took hold,

Before the stories
Of the dog people
Raping and stealing
Babies spread around?
How long before tales

Of the newcomers
Sucking baby’s blood
Out of small navels
And baking fresh bread
From the stolen bones?

Lynchings and pogroms
And rapes to follow,
Until dog people
Turned to myths again,
Like Neanderthals.
