Look at the wall.
You know there are monsters under your bed.
They come through the gap left open as Despair creeps in - on tippy toes.
Dancing along on spindly legs, the crude ballerina pounces and cradles your
soul - a babe in her icy embrace. `There there,' she says, `it will never
be better...'
Her antique lullaby scrapes down the blackboard of your soul. Your eyes
stare blankly at the towering wall. And you know. There are monsters under
your bed.
Can you hear them?
