Green Peas at Stake

Two Beasts

Two beasts allege my dreams are their territory.
One howls, the other horrifies.
One runs after me with its revolting pleas,
the other whines with unrelenting complaints.
They darken my nights with their neediness,
one with inexplicable desires,
the other with rowdy demands.
One beast is my ego,
the other my expectations,
both stark and sturdy
with no justification.
