Teenage Monsters

Adolescence
Hellish work for a monster.
Heightened senses shriek unexpectedly.
Green grass bright as a searchlight.
Blinding sun sears like kryptonite.

Carrion scent wafts in a schoolroom window.
Roadside critter casualties. Makes more than the stomach growl.
Errant breeze carries delicate laughter, rustle of a girls skirt, bubblegum mint mingles with half awake desire.

Keep the fiend composed behind a bored sneer.
Save the howling sessions for nighttime beer runs and riding the running board, wind blasting wild and free.
