two poems: mythologising the self
When I tell you I am a monster
what I mean is
I do not think like you
I do not think like you expect me to.
Yes, I have claws and teeth
but I'm not the only one of whom that's true.
No--the difference is:
I am looking at you always slantwise
out of three--or four--or five eyes
my several selves considering
which ones to let you see.

I really like this, even if it isn't in its finalized form. Especially the last stanza. Seriously, great.
