I never want to be a villain-
casted out like Hanks
sitting like a gargoyle
invisible.
Words sharp
the knife kept clean-
but they remember;
The massacre of 09
and they see the monster from that time
but the wolf skin has been shed
sheep just like you-
but they see the wolf.
Sheep skin is expensive;
daily upkeep
expensive-
chasing idle sheep through marked forest.
can lose it all-
moving through the fields,
fangs left hanging
and they ran to tell the masses
they’ll plaster my face on every brick
they’ll never forget me.
