lurking in the dark to prey on unwary kids
might have been some urban legend
or another wave of crime
just like motorcycle-riding men
who lessen streets' drug demand
this time white is the color of ghostly fear
may be just another trick to keep them out of the streets
so that that curfew would have some iron teeth
enough to grab and bite on their tender flesh
some old-fashioned aswang of bedtime stories told
