«The Cascade» by Harrison Fisher

In “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis,”
there is only one movie playing in town,
The Monster Who Devoured Cleveland.

It has two sequels:
the Bride of, followed by
the Son of.

In one episode, all three titles appear
on the marquee of the Cascade Theater
as a “TRIPLE HORROR FEATURE.”

We read nuclear family structure from the marquee:
the monster that devoured Cleveland
took a bride and had a son,

the natural order of things,
as family will out
on any scale,

even rendered as the literal
maker of monstrosity
we know it to be.
