Eraserhead (Poem)

Eraserhead (1977)
Directed by David Lynch

That can’t be my “son”
I mean… Look at it!
What have I done?
You walked away
and left me with
a monster. My eyes
are playing tricks
on me. Is this a dream?
Is this real? I don’t know
how to feel. This wasn’t
a part of my plan.
Nothing could have
prepared me for this.
Now, filled with dread
and fear, I see an unfit
father in the mirror.
