Soft lilac orthopedic shoes
and a faded "green peace" bag
short silver curls
with pallid gray glasses to match
what a deceptive disguise
Jumbled text on a white index card
the bottom boldly shouting
"There is no Halloween here"
She stands proudly
on a concrete doorstep
looking down with nothing more
than judgement and contempt
Breathing fire
the wrinkled judge
excitedly condemns us
with trying happiness in her voice
Oh, heresy.
