scary stories
September 16th, 2005
we tell a scary story
looking for a way
to terrorize our audience
in a book we’ll write someday.
but then that night i went to bed
and hanging on the wall
a picture that had caught my eye
i could not move at all.
it was david bowie’s face
upon a balded baby’s head –
the most unpleasant thing a girl could see
before she goes to bed!
so i tore that calendar down
and summoned craig back in
to lay beside my troubled soul
and comfort me therein.
