it was all for the candy,
the jumpy and excited
sugar-high feeling in your head
from the sixty sweets
you stole from the pumpkin that said,
take only one please!
staying up past bedtime,
running wild in the neighborhood
with all your friends.
the one night of the year
your mother wouldn't be angry.
but now it's about the costume.
as kids,
all it's about is being a superhero,
or a fairy,
or a unicorn,
or a football player,
or a mad scientist.
for me,
it's all because for one night of the year,
i can become someone else
instead of myself.
