II: Beauty & the
Beast
he was hot
he grew horns
he had you
screaming mammy daddy screaming blue
murder.
From one sleepy thought
of how like a mane his hair â¦
next thing
heâs furred & feathered, pig bristled,
warted like a toad
puffed & jumping â
the green cling of those
froggy fingers
will make you shudder yet.
Then his flesh gone
dead. Scaled as a handbag.
He was that old crocodile
you had to kiss
yes, Rosebud, I
suppose you were right.
Better than hanging around
a hundred years for Someone
to hack his way through the thorns
for the shoe that fits
for chance to have you cough up
the poisoned apple
wodged in your gullet.
So you (anything for a quiet
life) embrace the beast, endure.
