POEM STARTER

Submitted by Esperanza

End a poem with the line:

'When does a man become a monster?'

A Man: A Monster

Knives out.

Cutting throats.

Gutting folks.


Counting blessings:

One, two—

Three, you.

Dead or alive.




Bodies floating.

Noose hanging.

Lovely smile;

Grinning!


I want you.

Nah, only you.

Dead or alive, ah.







Either will do me.

Hold ‘em tight.

Force a laugh.


One, two,

I see you.

Three, four,

Open the door.


And I want you.

I want you.

Dead or alive.





I said dead or alive.


‘Cause when does a—

does a man become a monster, eh?
