• Like an ethereal presence
  You hang out everywhere.
  Not a naughty or scary goblin,
  Rather, an inquisitive observer,
  A concerned, caring custodian,
  Visiting every niche and closet
  Where we stuff the undesired
  Of our messy, blemished lives,
  You haunt territories we ignore,
  Hoping we will find you there.

  Joyce Rupp

• That's the real excellent scary part, that feeling, and that feeling won't come if the lady from next door is there and your mom won't ride the ride, because what brings on that feeling most is when your mom rides wedged in tight with you and your brother on nights like this, when your mom will scream the excellent scream, the scream that people you see in snatches on the boardwalk stop and stare for, the scream that stops the ride next door, the scream that tells us to our hearts the bolts have finally broken.
