Creature of Habit
Joseph Danoski
Now it’s midnight
at the crossroads
And the moon is
always full.
Like a creature of
the shadows,
You yield unto its
pull.
You’re a creature
of your habits
And a monster on
the move.
You were bitten by
a madness
That keeps you in
the groove.
You have blackouts
in the moonlight,
And you have your
hell to pay;
When you’re
freeze-dried
In the frost-white
Another midnight
Day.
You’ve a monkey on
your shoulder
That’s as horny as
a bull;
And a werewolf in
the closet
That’s dyed into
the wool.
It’s the living
night of phantoms
And the howling of
the hounds.
You’re the
creature of your habits And
prowling dangerous grounds.
Joseph V.
