Once upon a time the bodies on the neighbors’ lawn
were just vinyl heads and limbs drowning in strawberry syrup.
Ghosts were old white sheets splotched with Magic Marker and skeletons were plastic joints strung together with invisible thread.
Twenty years later the evening news spun polyester webs
over the slaughterhouse next door because no one ever asked to be a suicide bomber for Halloween.
