On Halloween, I went out in mind,
in costume - not 'out of mind,' just in.
I was dressed in mind (not really though)
as the avatar of a deadly sin.
Can you guess which one? Guess 'Pride'
you're wrong. Guess 'Lust' - please leash
your gutter mind! Guess 'Gluttony' or
'Wrath' - come on! Such rages spoil
healthy appetites, I find. Guess what?
The whole thing lied. I did not go
in mind at all, in costume, sin
or otherwise. My mind needs no
such fancy dress and ball,
And 'Lie' is not a deadly sin.
You'd think it could be, though
