MARY SHELLEY, from the collection “My Baby’s Made A Monster Of Me” by RJT
Prettier than Mary Shelley, another stage-dive off the jetty; but you hit the water with no splash, as my fingers turn to ash. She is smarter than Madame Curie, without the radium or the fury. Monsieur let her know that she was loved, and I’m still told she holds a grudge and says “My baby’s made a monster out of me.” Going drowing with Lord Byron, not going under but she is trying. I guess she finally gathered up the nerve that she needed to submerge, and say “My baby’s made a monster out of me.” He’s inside her, she’s in formation, and we’re invited to the coronation. But who here among us has not seen, the steps she took to be the queen? My baby’s made a monster out of me.
