Waiting for The Great Pumpkin

It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown is bedtime reading with my daughter.

Am I Linus? Sleepless in a sincere patch of my choosing. Awaiting The Great Pumpkin.

Late in the night, I am disappointed. And with me, the friends I led on this misadventure.

Unshakable in my hope will I seek out a sincerer patch? One free of hypocrisy as far as the eye can see.

“Just wait until next year, Charlie Brown!”
