Through The Peephole
I am going to jump out of my skin, Dear Diary! All night long I can hear them out in the streets. They pound on my door, but I do not move. That is how they get you. I may have brought it on myself by putting the carved pumpkin on the porch and the ghostly cardboard figure on the door, the left eye strategically placed over the peephole. But I've found that it's best to blend in with the neighborhood, and on this particular night, sparkly witch's britches adorning the garage door makes a house less conspicuous, not more. Unable to resist any longer, I pressed my eyeball to the small hole, trying in vain to see who's there, but no figure appeared. They may have been too short. But it's more likely that they were hiding in the bushes, ready to jump out when I let down my guard. You see, there are zombies roaming about. Real ones, not just the mini imitators with strawberry-flavored gel blood on their lips.
Why does this make me cry?
I dedicate "Say Hey" by Michael Franti to Landru, because I know this one thing.

"Say Hey (I Love You)"
(feat. Cherine Anderson)
(This one goes out to you and yours, worldwide)
I say hey, I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see, the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you (baby girl)
I love you, I love you, I love you
I've been a lot of places all around the way
I've seen a lot of joy and I've seen a lot of pain
But I don't want to write a love song for the world
I just want to write a song about a boy and a girl
Junkies on the corner always calling my name
And the kids on the corner playing ghetto games
When I saw you getting down, well, I hope it was you
And when I look into your eyes I knew it was true
I say hey, I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see, the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you (baby girl)
I love you, I love you, I love you
Now I'm not a highly metaphysical man
But I know when the stars are aligned you can
Bump into a person in the middle of the road
Look into their eyes and you suddenly know
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
Dancing in the night in the middle of June
My momma told me don't lose you
'Cause the best luck I had was you
I say hey, I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see, the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you (baby girl)
I love you, I love you, I love you
And I say, rocking in the dance hall, moving with you
I say, hey momma, hey momma, close to you
Rocking in the dance hall, moving with you
I say, hey poppa, hey poppa, close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I say, hey momma, hey momma, close to you
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I say, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
Hey momma, hey momma, hey momma, hey momma
My momma told me don't lose you
'Cause the best luck I had was you
And I know one thing
That I love you
I say hey, I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see, the less I know
I say hey, I'll be gone today
But I'll be back all around the way
It seems like everywhere I go
The more I see, the less I know
But I know one thing
That I love you (baby girl)
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
(Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
I say, hey poppa, hey poppa
Hey momma, hey momma
Rocking in the dance hall moving with you
Come on, hey poppa, hey poppa)
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
