this is hallow

Costumes
It’s Halloween
I cannot see your face
Nor can the police: smashing their
pumpkins

Princess
Small silver crown
Holding a big mushroom
And here’s your partner, Mario
One up!

Let’s see
You are…a robot?
No wait, you are changing
To a car! Oh, Optimus Prime.
Transform.

Red, pink,
Yellow, purple
Fanta—do you drink it?
Or you just like wearing less clothes.
Doncha?

Bats, ghosts,
Witches, goblins
All a little scary.
Other things are more frightening
Clowns, you.
