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

7am could
be midnight. Kids stand on street
corners like hookers.
Every year they say
they’re too old, but hit the streets
for that sugar fix.
I answer the door.
Offer kids cooked broccoli
They demand candy.
Only buy the good
candy because you have to
live with leftovers.
No pumpkins any
where, except for Wal-mart which
wants ten bucks a pop.
Wearing the mantle
of autumn. Cold starry nights
days of leaf-strewn gold.
An apple, as red
as it is crisp, awaits on
the blue floral plate.
The new furnace kicks
on, and I rise to the warmth
like yeast bread baking.
Halloween spirit
eludes me, like the ghost of
someone I once loved.
