a halloween anecdote

i was a sonafabitch 
my mother took my youngest brother
and me to see the stephen king adaption of 
carrie [1976] at the sac six drive ins

i'm sure my other brother and my father
was in the car too but
what i remember is the end of the film
you recall when amy irving finds the grave of carrie

whose tomb reads carrie white burns in hell
 amy bends to the grave to deliver a bouquet
when carrie's hand bursts from the rocks of the
grave to grab amy well it was after

the adrenaline and the credits were rolling
i got directly behind my youngest brother
grabbed his neck and yelled boo
his scream was so loud my mother punched me in the arm
