Monsters Following Monsters

O take off your shoes Step on my blues underneath your feet May I introduce the all-purpose goose And other creatures you´ll meet with me Like virus-shaped spirals Circles, zig-lines, zag-lines, too Insects with long feelers Fluffy white lions, me and you Tread softly So softly For you tread On my nightmares Without my nightmares who would I be I´ve always thought my neuroses are A nice, quick summary of me With patterns in patterns in patterns Underneath our toes and in our heads Trampled upon and never known Yet always close and real when we´re afraid We´re monsters following monsters Without our nightmares who would we be Come here, no fear, just enter gently
