Day after Halloween.

My least favorite,

Holiday?

Celebration?

Yet, it’s nice.

Neighbors stop by

With their children,

And their dogs,

Smiles all around.

Look at us,

Sharing candy,

With everyone,

A Jedi,

A spider,

An inmate,

A hobo.

Some of them,

Stranger than others.

Like all celebrations,

It’s a reminder,

Things can be different,

If we put forward

Some effort.

We can show ourselves,

And share what we have.

As if love and kindness,

Were real,

And worth doing.
