October. Tradition of pumpkin patches
leads us to this amazing animal farm.
A little girl, my sister, sees a flawlessly striped zebra.
She pats a fine example of nature
while our mother and my boyfriend watch, fascinated.
My sister loves Halloween; the candy,
the pumpkins, the leaves, the fun, and the zebra.
She is thinking that the zebra must love her,
because she is sweet enough to pet and love the zebra.
All year long, she has waited, because last year she was afraid.
She tries not to show her fear, but her
hesitating hand gives her away.
She wants to prove to us her courage. We love you,
Kassidy, and why are you proving your bravery to us,
when we should be proving ours to you?
