getting a Certificate Verify Failed issue

[Mnemnosine]

I'm trying to download Poetry onto my Mac using [curl -sSL https://install.python-poetry.org | python3 -] and I'm getting the following error code:

urllib.error.URLError: <urlopen error [SSL: CERTIFICATE_VERIFY_FAILED] certificate verify failed: unable to get local issuer certificate (_ssl.c:1028)>

Somewhere there's a certificate verification failing, and I don't have the skills necessary to be able to figure it out as I'm just a Python newbie.
