Monster Wars With My Son
Mock battles with my sons.
Star Wars characters hauled out
of their tubs.
Rancor Monster, Squid Head, Yak Face.
Darth Vader, Jabba the Hut…
Snaggletooth is a real dick.
Skeletor, Beast Man and Evil-lyn.
The whole crew, just bad to the bone,
but at least Evil-lyn was hot.
All the D.C. Comic book crooks
grimacing, malformed and cavorting.
Monsters eating monsters,
bad guys with their henchmen.
He knows that this is not just play
and I won’t lie to him.
I guess we both knew back then
that this world mirrors its demons.
Our only hope
is in Optimus Prime.
