Neon Casper
You were a neon Casper,
Dragging your feet towards the talkative lawn,
Where obscure costumes make jokes,
That aren’t as clever as they might have thought,
Sarah was supposed to be around,
As some sort of swamp thing or fish monster,
But the effort to find her seems more work than the pay off,
These falling leaves are pretty nice,
Even out here in the dark of night,
Twiddling thumbs curbside
Must be my idea of a good time,
Chorus:
Too bad this isn’t just about candy anymore,
It’s too bad I can’t walk on to the next door
Movie On A Sheet
Movie on a sheet
Strung up in the living room
Like a ghost TV
The costume of a poltergeist
Funny retelling
Of Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s
Timeless masterpiece
“Live! Live!” Gene Wilder screams
Anyone need a drink?
Tripping over friends in the dark
Happy Halloween
Hear the sound of passing cars
Albert gives out treats
To costumes passing yard to yard
He usually
Says he hates kids that’s the funny part
Driving down the street
Passed the cemetery gates
Where you rest in peace
One coffin in a row of graves
The reverend gave his speech
It came off plastic and absurd
Whispered do you hear me?
And I could have sworn that you answered
Now I go to sleep
And hear your footsteps in the hall
Tell myself it’s a dream
Brought on by too much alcohol
Hear the walls they creek
A small blip on a seismograph
Roll over in my sheets
The dead are dead and that is that
Psychic in my dream
Said expect strange phenomena
For the next few weeks
Your waking life is bending phase
What is true will change
Slightly like Berenstain Bears
Memories remain
Mandala altering the pairs
Movie on a screen
Hung up in the living room
Like a ghost TV
The static of a poltergeist
You sit next to me
Whiter than a snow angel
You’re so good to see you see
I thought you were dead after all
