they're into it

the neighbor
unloads a fifty-pound pumpkin
from their truck
and roll it into
their yard.
orange lights
are strung along windows.
ghost and goblins
hang from
the trees.
he gets a wheelbarrow
out of his shed
to load
the candy.
she's dressed as a witch,
in black,
he's
Frankenstein,
his skin painted green.
it's two weeks before
Halloween,
but they're into it.
