monsters have day jobs

Clutching tufts of hair
And applying stain remover
To his sleeves
You didn’t want to see
What had happened
When you turned away

I had to remind you
That monsters
Had day jobs
And dogs
And bills to pay

I knew a few who were
Employer of the month
And who thanked veterans
Regularly

But they became werewolves
When the sun went down;
Where they roamed your backyard
Looking for things to slaughter
Before they had to get back to work
