Destruction
A monster came to see me
She removed her cap and shoes
and pardoned herself when she coughed.
I devoured her whole, ravenous.
Swallowed and belched,
not to be rude, but out of disdain.
Some monster.
Then I bought a cat, and he loved yarn.
So he'd bat and tug and teethe.
Until there was no yarn, only string
The cat did not care so much for string.
"Look at what you did," I said. "It's still yarn."
But it was too late.
He was already taking a nap.
The monsters I have met
Taught me what it was
To be the yarn
and to become the cat
To fear the dog
and to eat everything else.
You are the monster.
Grow up big and strong.
Eat your guests.
Eat your fears.
Invite a monster to your home.
Eat everyone.
