Don your face paint, costumes and masks for Halloween, but don’t forget that it’s not always movie monsters or villains that are the scariest ghouls to haunt our waking days.
No Mask?… No Mask!
this Halloween i think i’ll be
something really scary
like a sudden allergy
to wheat or eggs or dairy
or a knock upon the door
and when you go to answer
someone from a cause you love
says “please give what you can sir”
i’ll be a wave of social change
that they’re forced to abide
i might dress like a government
department that’s been gutted
or damning proof, that gets tweeted
of with whom last night you rutted
so many costume choice there
so many fears to be
but none so very terrifying
as being
the real
me
