The “everybody” monster

Inside everybody is a monster

and the monster whispers that it is everybody

but actually it’s a nobody

nothing of substance

except a blackened strip of velcro

to which every negative word and memory clings like lint

Everybody isn’t out there

It’s in here

And when it stands up

it becomes

nothing but a curtain you walk through

to access your dreams.
