Poem
Who is Bigfoot’s Great-grand Daddy? Whether living in a city or on the mountain side, People from the world around astound us with their views. He’s nine-feet tall, a hairy thing, uprightly he flees astride. Only tracks are left behind and the mystery accrues. They say that Big Foot does exist and for eons has survived. A humanoid of greatest size a hairy manlike beast. Is he really all they say, or are the stories contrived? And if he lives, tell me, are our imaginations fleeced? (Genesis 27 … paraphrased…) Jacob goes to get two goats and steal his father’s blessing. Their mom prepared a feast of goat, delicious, to Isaac’s taste. Then, tied goatskin to Jacob’s neck and hands, realizing. Jacob dressed in Esau’s clothes calmly goes to his father with haste. Meanwhile, Esau, far away was hunting for venison as asked. Traipsing around through the scrubby woods tracking. Moving quickly with his great might to fulfill his father’s task. A man with hair like that of a goat, his birthright was loosing. Jacob smelled like Esau and the fields, but his voice… Isaac questioned, so he felt Jacob’s goatskin clad hands. Satisfied by the goatskin disguise, destiny made its choice. Jacob received a blessing of wealth and all of his father’s lands. When Esau returned with the venison feast, deceit was revealed. But it was too late his birthright was gone; he was very mad. “Give me a blessing, father please.” He begged as he kneeled. You shall live on the fat of the earth…unyoked…his father said. I wonder – Is Bigfoot, like Esau, a hunter-gatherer with hands as hairy as a goat? Does he live independently, a type of man, a scary giant beast? Wandering upon earth, too and fro, with life barely afloat. Brothers separated by that ancient deceit filled feast. Is Bigfoot the hunter-gatherer living on the fat of the land? Has he since the day of Rachael’s scam lived secluded and beastly? Have generation upon generation descended that ancient hunting man? Could Isaac in the Bible be Big Foot’s ancient Great-grand Daddy?
