I found a Mensa
bookmark.
left on a library table.
I thought, they can't
be that brainy if
they can't remember
their bookmark.

It is Halloween.
Kids are like
Flies around
a meaty carcass,
every two minutes
The doorbell
blares like
an air raid
siren.
Fifty minutes
of constant
doorbell testing
I decide to
confront
one of my
unwanted friends.
For an hour,
The doorbell does
Not ring.
I open a beer,
settle down
to watch a
comedy about
three men
and a baby.
Just as
My eyelids
approach
That point
of no
return.
It rings.
Off guard,
drunk
frustrated
like buffalo
Without water,
I open my door
To a kid in a
Wal Mart mask.
He is like
a midget demon.
Red
lycra,
Daddy
waiting in
a humming
Plymouth.
I breathe in,
“What do you
Want runt?”
“Trick or treat mister?”
I slide my hand in
To my pocket
And give him a dime.
“Now beat it or
I’ll cast a spell on you.
I’m a male
witch.”
He runs
Off the porch,
Unconvinced
But unwilling to
stop and find out.
He runs to
Mister
Goldbergs
Next door.
I wonder if he knows
He died this morning.
I walk back and
Sit, imagining
The ghost of
Mr Goldberg
Grabbing the
runt and
dragging his
soul to Hell.
But Mrs Goldberg
Is in, and gives him
candy.
