He is no longer

Merely a boy, but the wolf

Shares the same design

Shaggy black fur in

The shape of a wolf adorns

The back of this thing

The fans -- the punters

Pay for supernatural

Spectacle it seems

They lean close and taunt

Laughing and sneering at the

Creature trapped within

Another howl slips

From the caged beast, and Ethan

Feels the gin rise up

Running for toilets

He passes by a number

Of girls wearing ears

Thick and furry ears

On small headbands as if they

Were werewolves themselves

The toilet is the

Latest in technology

Can't admire now

He wonders why now

This has upset him so

Perhaps things changed?

Vending machine mints

Taste of cocoa and sugar

Sick-sweet in his mouth
