#17 - Dressing Up On Halloween

dressing up on halloween

our bodies used in display
of things inside our social hive

with just a little blood
we can make our selves blend in
on day we owe to the dead

but this same sane so called practice
is criticized
and deemed "uncouth"
on any other day

let us blend in and always look
the way we all agree to
and have these assigned days
for as a mass
to get a little weird

its not that we hate the normal
its not that we can't conform
its that we find our own joy
in the grotesque regions
of human thought
and play there joyously

its always seemed a little strange
that we only deviate
from a "normal" selection
on days and times
when as a whole
we approve the alternate
but only if we all agree

i enjoy the ability and choice
to dress as i please
on any give day
to wear the blood of ancients
or a design from deepest doom
to pay homage
to imagination
from whence your nightmares come
