A decent monster to help
An old lady with groceries
Cross the goddamn street
Now they are everywhere
So polite and nonchalant
Lending a helping hand
In between killing aliens
And seeing to those moth people
I think I liked it more
When they were mysterious
Unnamable, unfathomable
Like the Creature from the Black Lagoon
A source of wonder and fear
Are they here to save us or kill us?
The brutal reality is neither
They are fighting the same fight we are
To understand why they are here and soon
Maybe a ghost of what has passed
Or a portent to a future?
Still they clutter the sidewalks
With their scale-studded bulk
And let the jay walkers through
Which pisses off the cops no end
And will make the news by noon
