Daylight savings time 2 – Sunday 2 a.m.

How can one person
be so excited about
an extra hour’s sleep?

Bus stop – daylight savings time

7am could
be midnight. Kids stand on street
corners like hookers.

Trick or treat 6

Every year they say
they’re too old, but hit the streets
for that sugar fix.

Trick or treat 5

I answer the door.
Offer kids cooked broccoli
They demand candy.

Trick or treat 4

Only buy the good
candy because you have to
live with leftovers.

Ripoff

No pumpkins any
where, except for Wal-mart which
wants ten bucks a pop.

Seasonal attire

Wearing the mantle
of autumn. Cold starry nights
days of leaf-strewn gold.

Domesticated Eve

An apple, as red
as it is crisp, awaits on
the blue floral plate.

Cozy

The new furnace kicks
on, and I rise to the warmth
like yeast bread baking.

Trick or treat 2

Halloween spirit
eludes me, like the ghost of
someone I once loved.
