I took the dead deer
and hollowed it out
all the guts and insides I just put them in the bathtub
for now

I walked around town in my new costume
it never rains here
and I didn’t want people to see I was crying

adults don’t even notice
they’re too caught up in whatever else
most kids are terrified
but retarded kids think it’s awesome

I’ve gotten used to it
I dare say I even affect an appropriate gait
but I’m afraid it’s turning sour

even so it doesn’t stink half as much
as being in love with you
