Halloween Store

Halloween is just around the corner
I was thinking today
Sat around getting high all afternoon
Wondering what I should wear
Eventually, I picked myself up
Put on my shoes and walked out the door
I had one destination in mind
And that destination was the Halloween store

I started my car and as I did
I wondered if I'd locked the house
Walked back and found that I hadn't
But now my keys were in the car
Walked to the car, pulled the handle
And it snapped back, at least, I'd locked one door
Reached my hand through the open window
Pulled the lock, forgot about the house
And drove to the Halloween store

I pulled into the lot and parked
Next to a blue car like yours
Looked in my rearview mirror
Imagining meeting you in an aisle
I said "Hi, I'm Norm, I think we've maybe met once before"
And as my fog cleared, I realized
That you were sitting in your car
Smiling at me at the Halloween store
