whether to hand
out candy to children this year
as they go about
in their costumes
for Halloween.
giving them
sugar.
the true poison of our time.
creating and contributing
to so much obesity
and disease.
do i get them going
on the nutritional
road to hell
with a milky way or
an almond joy.
do i clog their little hearts
with gum
and lollypops,
rot their teeth with
mary janes, and butter
fingers?
do i expand their bellies
with a candy apple,
perhaps.
what about a nice little
baggie of fresh broccoli?
steamed with a pad of butter,
lightly salted,
let's see how that goes
this year.
