Two Heads, No, But Extra Legs


This planet has them for sure

some critters have a dozen or more 

everything has six at least 

you forgot how fast a dog can run 

with only two pairs 

the predatory hexapods

are closer than you remember 

the taloned pads a blur 

chunks of sod flying 

no time to aim you 

hold the trigger down 

till the clickety clicks

but at the last all you see are

the shiny white teeth agape
