The Ghost on Loud Street Is an Introvert.


Remember the tale of the haunted house
The one Grandmother told you
Of the house standing tall in the corner
With its lawn always mowed in the night
Sounds of knives and screams on Thursday's
Sad music filling the streets from her insides
Strange smokes dancing out the chimney


Here's the side your Grandmother didn't tell
Maybe because she didn't know 
Or
She didn't want you to know

A human that works 9 - 5 stays in the house
Thursdays were the free days, so the lawn must be mowed
Onions diced, Dough kneaded while dancing
All around the house, far across the room 
To some tear stopping music about the reaper

The human has a limited social battery
This restricts interaction

There is no ghost on the street
No hunter in the house

Just some story
Or
Some truth.
