on Halloween, some
of the scariest faces
are under the masks

is it a melting
pot or bizarre eyeballs?
art keeps us guessing

but it's hard to be this far

we bid our final good-byes

all I could think of
was to try leap frog but my
daughter shook her head,
looked at me with disgust
or disbelief
and said don't you dare,
Mom,
I'm going to count to three
and you will come
to the car with me
and try to behave

sometimes it's no fun
being the grown up

all of the holes in your heart,

warning, the sign said:
if you fall in you will die

apparently, some were prepared
to meet their Maker
but me, always choosing
the high road,
decided I couldn't fall in,
so I stayed behind the fence,
at the top of the hill,
at least until
until I had a chance to
go to confession
