A Call To Speak

The monomyth is this: the unknown will callThe monomyth is this: when the men come, light yourself on fireThe monomyth is this: dream. It is the only right thing to do.Bend all your energy as a prism bends lightImagine better for us, for me, for you.They say the hero denies the call first.When I go to the dentist they tsk and hiss at my teeth they sayI must stop clenching my jaw whenI sleep, they say I must stop grindingmy teeth but I am so afraid of all that will fall out of my mouth.
