ME AND MY BOYS
ITS NIGHTTIME AND ITS DARK
MY OLDER SON
HES SCARED
ASKS ME
IS THERE SUCH A THING AS VAMPIRES
I LOVE IT WHEN HE ASKS ME THESE QUESTIONS
THEY ARE SO BASIC AND TRUE
THEY GET MY MIND ON A SIMPLE TRACK
AND IM ALWAYS SURPRISED BY MY ANSWER
I HOLD HIS HAND
WATCH MY DOG SQUAT
SEE IF THERES ANYTHING TO PICK UP
PAT MY POCKET
YES I BROUGHT A BAG
MY ANSWER TO HIM IS SHORT
WEVE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE
NO I SAY
THERES NO SUCH THING AS REAL VAMPIRES
THE KIND HE SAYS
THAT SUCK YOUR BLOOD
THATS RIGHT I SAY
A VAMPIRE IS JUST A MYTH A SYMBOL
A FAIRY TALE TOLD TO TEACH OTHERS
WHAT TO WATCH OUT FOR IN LIFE
LIKE A VAMPIRE COULD BE A GUY
WHO STEALS ALL YOUR MONEY FROM YOU HE SAYS
WOW
WE HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS BEFORE
YEAH I SAY
A VAMPIRE COULD BE A GUY WHO BORROWS MONEY FROM YOU
AND NEVER PAYS YOU BACK
KEEPS BORROWING MONEY FROM YOU
YOU GO POOR
HE DITCHES YOU TO BORROW MONEY FROM THE NEXT GUY
A LEECH
SOMEONE WHO IN SOME WAY
SUCKS THE LIFE OUT OF YOU FOR HIS SURVIVAL
REDUCING THE BIG BAD MONSTER
TO AN ANNOYING PERSON
SATISFIES MY BOY
WE FINISH THE WALK
GO INSIDE
I CONTINUE TO PONDER THE SUBJECT
ITS FUNNY HOW VAMPIRES HAVE BECOME SO SEXY AND POWERFUL
IN MODERN IMAGERY
BUT THE KERNEL OF TRUTH IN THEIR MYTH
IS THAT THEYRE LEECHES
PARASITES
ALL THEIR BEAUTY STRENGTH AND POWER
USED TO FEED ON YOU
OR THATS HOW I INTERPRETED THIS MYTH FOR MY BOY
IN THE BRAM STOKER NOVEL
THE VAMPIRE AND HIS MINIONS
REPRESENTED INFECTION ADDICTION THEFT
FOREIGN INVASION
NOWADAYS
I BELIEVE MORE IN THE JUDITH ORLOFF
PSYCHIC VAMPIRE
THINK I AM ONE
I THINK WE ALL ARE IN SOME WAY
US GROUPS OF PEOPLE
FEEDING ON EACH OTHER
TAKING FROM EACH OTHER
DO WE GIVE
I BELIEVE IN FINANCIAL VAMPIRES
IN THE DRACULA NOVEL
THE BLOOD IS THE LIFE
IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM
THE MONEY IS THE LIFE
AND EVERY EMAIL IN MY INBOX
EVERY CATALOGUE AND BILL IN THE MAILBOX
EVERY MESSAGE IN MY CELLPHONE
EVERY BILLBOARD AD
EVERY BUS BENCH AD
EVERY STOREFRONT SIGN
EVERY TELEVISION AND RADIO COMMERCIAL
EVERY INTERNET AND BLOG AD
EVERY STORE MEMBERSHIP
EVERY CREDIT COMPANY
WANTS MY MONEY
WANTS TO FEED ON MY BANK ACCOUNT
THOSE ARE A COUPLE OF WAYS
TO INTERPRET THE VAMPIRE MYTH IN MODERN TIMES
IM GONNA WATCH THE DELUXE TWO DISC EDITION OF TWILIGHT
TO CLEAR MY PALETTE OF THIS POEM
WEREWOLVES UP NEXT
