Halloween trick

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
