Haiku 150

(an excess of the picturesque)

Taqueria talk:
One man shrugs to his neighbor,
"El chupacabra. . . "

Did you ever watch The X-Files? There was of course an episode featuring this idea.

Oddly, the one and only episode of the X-files that I ever saw was the chupacabra episode. All I remember is an older woman repeatedly saying (you need a heavy Spanish accent here to get the full effect): "One woman -- two brothers -- trouble!" But I think of that every time I hear about chupacabras, as for instance at a taqueria. . .

The Sci-Fi Channel had an entire Saturday afternoon about a month ago devoted to cheesy movies featuring "El chupacabra." It was the best time ever.
