monsters at night


beware the ladies' tea on Sundays
beware the patrol car on the prowl
beware the crowd of good white people
beware the cowl beneath the scowl 

there are monsters at night
monsters stand round your bed

monsters in the daylight
monsters in the little things they said

beware the quota and the red line
beware the diminisher of dreams
beware the doubt beneath the surface
beware the is beneath the seems

beware the simple routine questioning 
beware the lineup at the fence
beware the cameras malfunctioning
beware the miraculous evidence
