Mistaken identity

My costume is not ready. So I wear my orange and black sweater to the trick-or-treat fest downtown.
A lady looks at me and smiles.
“Are you a witch?” she asks.
I put my hands on my hips and glare at her.
No, I say.
And I thought only kids called each other names, I think to myself.
Juicy nose

Wet stuff pours down my face. Toward my lips.

Sunrise, sunset

I point to the east. The sun comes up over there, I say.
“Very good!” Mom says.
