early as children that a costume
matters.
Halloween
brings
out the hero or villain
in all of us.
the monster,
or saint.
and we continue
on
in our adult years
with a golden suit
when singing
a song,
maybe
a holy robe
to bless the flock,
a camouflage outfit
in jungle
green.
a cop in blue,
a sailor in white,
a lawyer with a red
tie,
a farmer in overalls,
the executioner in
black.
but we trick or treat
during the day,
though
occasionally at night.
