Life’s stranger than fiction & twice as scary.
So, Halloween revelers, please be wary.
All Hallow’s Eve & next, The Day of the Dead…
Celebrate the spooks & death we mainly dread.
I’ve heard it said, “Halloween’s drag for cowards.”
Yet, for some, it must make them feel empowered.
Bolstered by one night to be weird every day.
Emboldened to take up space in brand new ways.
These days, each day, we’re presented new terror.
Saving up frights for one day seems an error.
We’ve got plenty chills & thrills twenty-five/eight.
Halloween’s ghosts & ghouls, now, seem rather quaint.
