Macabre Dream
I walked through my parent's house all
night as though I had just woken up that morning.
I made some noise but no one heard me.
I tried to eat some fruit but it had gone
bad.
I went outside one Christmas eve, ready
to talk to mom and dad and I see mom crying, and dad yelling
in front of the police.
I listened to what they said and find out
I've been missing for weeks.
The police have no suspects so now they
come after my dad first.
The police knew I had problems so they
were interrogating my parents.
My dad pleads the 5th amendment and a
lawyer drives up to the house.
Just when you think it can't get any
uglier, I take my ghostly hand, reach into the officer and use him like
a puppet.
I made him dance and sing and shoot his
gun off like a cowboy, after which he lost his job.
I had never been so happy.
Mom and dad's lawyer made sure of it that the cops never bothered them again, but my body was never found.
The good news about being a ghost is that
I got to see free movies and didn't need passports to go
anywhere. And my mom was happy when I entered her dreams.
