Restrictions: None
the family fight
you lot are all total pumpkins!
Cousin Emily shouted,
and we looked around for signs
of orange shells
and general seediness, but all we saw
were familiar faces—Uncle Andrew
expressing temper
until his ears turned tomato red,
and Great-aunt Janaleigh
smiling sweeter than maple syrup
while thinking of something truly
dreadful to say,
and little Nikki swiping her finger
clean, and so we nodded,
agreeing, agreeable—
which is why Emily started throwing
things, we decided later
as we toweled the leftovers away.
