5TH GRADE HALLOWEEN:
The Blood Countess Talks to Me

Ryn Gargulinski

You didn't look
like a bitch whore
like Kelly Chernowsky
that 5th grade Halloween
but that's what she dressed as parading
through the classrooms dressed as
a whore.  Knew she was
a whore.  Supposed to be a
whore since hobos were gauche
smurfs were out you dressed
as a vampiress
not Elvira, not having the breasts
but a creepy ghoul with
pasty white face make up that
somewhat matched your own
a long black
wig with that
cheap Halloween smell
hair that got in food
fake teeth
but no fake blood
lest it stain the carpet you
looked so real
no one recognized you
even when
you lost the cape.
