MONSTER MOVIE
The ones we remember
Have us all fighting
Against unimaginably
Hideous formidable
Invincible entities
They seem poised to
Wipe us out
Wipe me out actually
The best ones make
It personal
We start to believe it’s real
We’re in the movie
Then we begin to learn
And understand
The ways and traits
Weaknesses and failings
We compare them to ours
And find a way
One by one they drop away
Not being as clever as us
After all
Relief and joy almost
We might be able to
Live our lives again
And this will be a memory
Just as we feel a
Taste of victory
She appears
The mother monster
What the……
Not twenty foot worms but
The monster that eats them for snacks
We forgot the title of the movie
That’s what therapy is like
Vanquishing threats one by one
Using new found skills ideas
Studies of this and that
I’m getting good at this
On the offensive feeling victory
Then all stops dread and foreboding
The sound track turns to
Doom and gloom evil
And she raises up before me
With my puny sword and shield
The mother crushing issue
Shame
