MONSTER

My rubber duck catapulted itself, no more in the dreams of mine,
the water, the bubbles soaking the tile,
every square must be a polygon illusion
for this reality.
Guess you can stay I'm still breathing.

It came to me in the light,
  the door was already open,
the warning wasn't overheard, my shepherd called me a liar.
There's no darkness here!
Screaming the crazies,
Screaming I'M crazy,
I'm not.
Maybe everyone else is ill.


It came to me, non deliberate,non-animous
  but a warning.

Wasn't sure of his growls
or the pot of lamb left at my window.
there was a metal cape in my life, a soul half-smitten with styrofoam and hymen steel.

A premonition of all that would plummet,  the stock of childhood squeaked dry, the truth came to me as my personal Mona Lisa,
with yellow teeth and a wicker basket for hair but no bread.
