he
named
his
dog
after
a
fruit
i've
only
tasted
in
a
drink
that
sounded
like
a
dream
.
he
fancies
himself
a
storyteller.
for
halloween
,
he
sat
on
his
front
lawn
with
a
tambourine
and
a
bongo drum,
hoping
to
entertain
anyone
who
stopped
by
.
he
hasn't
lived
here
long
enough
to
know
.
we
never
get
any
trick
-or-treaters.
ours
is
a
street
all
the
ghouls
and
goblins
have
forgotten
.
there
were
two
brief
percussive interludes,
and
then
no
more
.
if
you'd
been
here
that
night
—
if
you'd
lingered
long
enough
—
you
might
have
heard
him
speak
,
though
the
only
good
tales
he
has
to
tell
were
lifted
from
the
lives
of
others
.
