Billy Collins
Halloween Parade
The same kid that told his mother to burn in hell, dances around in his firefighter costume.
The same boy who hits his dog for barking too loud, goes door-to-door getting candy with his Scooby-Doo ears flopping around.
The same girl who finds her neighbor’s bulimia funny, laughs like no tomorrow through her clown makeup.
The same woman who steps over homeless people on the ground, thinking of them as trash, receives countless compliments on her shiny halo and sparkling angel wings.
