Ms. Washington’s Babies

Matt Cunha

Here they come, dressed as cops
so cute!
with bushy mustaches and plastic nightsticks

Here they come, dressed as firemen
with faces ashed like the elbows of elephants
silent like heroes

Here they come, dressed as nurses
with meaty cleavage
so cute!
sticking bandages on everything

Here they come, dressed as saints
bleeding like martyrs, so cute!
absolving us of our sins

Here they come, dressed as bankers
candy bulging from their breast pockets
laughing like penguins

Here they come, dressed as generals
leading a charge across the lawn
so cute! Here they come, dressed as teachers
slapping at us with their rulers
Here they come, dressed as robbers
holding us up on our front porch
so cute Taking all our candy
Here they come, dressed as monarchs
scepter, cape, crown. Here they come
dressed as sheep
dressed as wolves dressed as sheep
Here they come, dressed as pilots
zipped up in flight suits
Here they come, so cute
dressed as salesmen
stuffing candy inside their briefcase
Here they come, dressed as vampires,
as mummies, as zombies, as trolls
splattered in blood, Here they come
Here they come, dressed as lawyers
Here they come, taking all our candy
Here they come
We can’t get them off our porch
