Meet Ze Monsta

By Ian Hunter

Monsta

I can only see him
Since the accident
Like my friends at the clinic
Saffy with the plate in her head
Jake and his gunshot wounds

In another world
He stomps on model cities
And superimposed,
dubbed actors flee
From his clumsy dance

But here he is colossal
An ectoplasmic being
Only the unlucky can see
For he towers above us
And brings his foot down
Right through our bodies
Pinning our hearts to the ground
Grinding our hopes there, our love

When we see him, we run
