Johnny Lantz II

He lies there, stupidly, while trying not

To fall asleep, with glossy earphones at

His neck as if he’s hoping that some hot,

Fanged vampire will arrive to make blood splat

But that the silver will protect him from

The undead suck attack.  Yet it’s not teeth

That Lantz is fearing.  Unsuspecting thumb

Is lying at the edge there, where, beneath

His football jersey skin peaks out, revealed

Coquettishly, a cotton blink before

The metal-taloned Krueger ripped and squealed

Up through his sheet and mattress for the gore.

  That wonderful, enchanting lower lip!

….Those hideous claws appearing near his hip!
