if I am a horror it is because I am and it is what I will be.
I am a horror!
because if your thumbs graze me they burn red. and bleed.

you say I am made of teeth and so I must be!
if horrors have wisdom I am full of it. if they do not that has nothing to do with me as I am a horror and choose to be full of it regardless.

if I am something it is because I must be and also because they say I must not.
wikipedia says “the words yes and no are not easily classified into any of the eight conventional parts of speech.” a true horror says no is a mid morning snack to chew vigorously before rearranging on the pavement. yes!

for now the horror is yours. soon the horror will be mine.
red does not suit my horror and green will do nicely.
I will be green and when her thumbs graze me they will sting just slightly. I am making the horror mine.
