Halloween
eighteen years old and holed up in a musty
white-walled masochist penitentiary, typing
and chasing at ivory-towered fantasies while
the goblins and corpses and vampires and
superheroes and wolfmen and wolfwomen
and crayons and pumpkins and politicians and
ninnies prowl and laugh and run in search of
sugar.
it’s 4:54 pm.
in a few hours i’ll get drunk and become a kid
and run and laugh and prowl in search of a different
kind of sugar.
