Day Twenty-Two: Monsters








 SHANTYTOWN

there isn't any place
on the planet
that doesn't have
several monsters,
and you learn
to avoid them,
but only after they've eaten
a few of your limbs.
you learn to trust the ones
who look like the others,
and yet
are somehow different,
and better,
though you
will never understand why.
living in a dangerous neighborhood
might be
all you can afford,
but the monsters
go with the territory,
and you'd better accept it.
