play monster

"Come play monster!" Child, we are all monsters in our own way How do I explain? Perhaps we just resume the game "You be monster!" Some days I already am Schedule-keeping, seldom-feeling Always wishing I was sleeping "You monster?" Sometimes inside, though I hope you don't see I hope you never learn it from me Worse if I remind you of those you have seen "I monster!" Ha!
