eternal halloween

at first i was a spinal chord
bending and kicking

then a newborn on my back
wiggling and crying

then i learned to crawl
and learned to talk

the world was mine
then the world was gone

i learned to learn
and learned there is no end

and learning made me grow to understand
time in my hand is just sand

and realized the futile truths
are disguised lies

the world was refurbished
but a world undone

i saw the masks
at the masquerades

laughed at the sadness
and cloaked my madness

the world is a ball
and the perpetual last call

it is eternal halloween
the best one you ever seen
