Should I write a poem about Halloween, full of psychological horrors and gruesome things? Like deep romantic wounds getting infected, herpe kisses or Donald Trump getting elected? I could lean on shuddery tropes, like haunted houses or more real world threats, like cutthroat spouses. I could make you look up scary looking words, like Syncretism. gasp What caused that creek in the floor?! Who’s that banging on the door? Is that blood on that rag? Is there a body in that bag? Is that your husband in drag!? Relax, have fun, chill-out, Oh, better get a bowl of candy out. Happy Halloween! . . Songs for this: Monster Mash by Bobby "Boris" Pickett & The Crypt-Kickers I Killed You by Tyler, The Creator . . *Merriam Webster: Syncretism: combining different forms of belief

That's either a bad case of the osteoporosis or a fatal overdose of Viagra ...

Imagine if Trump came to your door trick or treating. Would that scare you or what.

I would attempt to rip his face off, assuming it was a mask, and probably get into trouble =]
