MONSTERS

MONSTERS

we expect
better of
our monsters

more
from them

we demand that
they be
fully
  institionalized

but there again,
demand is perhaps
too strong
a word

we wake
but we
        do not see
unfortunately

and thus cannot
but fail to notice
that we
fail
   to notice

that in the mirror
everything is
        reversed

not upside down, as
radical theory Zizeks
would have
          us overthink it

just simply reversed
take a quick squizz
on your way
               into the world

and you could be forgiven
for not thinking
     the monster is there
