I Once Got Spooked
i once got spooked
on Spooky Hollow road
smack dab
in middle of headless horseman country
almost lost my head
it was very dark
lanterns belong to city dwellers
my station wagon spun crazy eights
as i imagined, the dawn of the dead,
a recently watched horror fest
any moment he’d materialize
head hanging off shoulder
green as pea soup
or Dracula, leaning on a cane
white teeth hanging like stalagmites
bump in the road…
well you know the end
i find the main artery
my box springs creak at night
muuuaaaaahhhhhhh….
