September
To the day! And yet all
The particulars add up
to what will disappear
Lifting a soft target
into the air just enough
to see that it isn't there
Early risers mourn
the end of sleep
and the beginning of dumb stuff
Miss a stop while
the ruby pen
bungles a crossword
Somewhere orchards rot
while the canticles of ecstasy
become a sanguine mop
Further than a fever
warmer than a body-
still I go to work
Forget the dodgy bits for a minute
and notice the sun
as you hyperventilate
Something just isn't right
about the day, what with its
compete determination and mine
Someday I'll walk away
and every time I do something
it will be the for last time
The particulars add up
to what will disappear
Lifting a soft target
into the air just enough
to see that it isn't there
Early risers mourn
the end of sleep
and the beginning of dumb stuff
Miss a stop while
the ruby pen
bungles a crossword
Somewhere orchards rot
while the canticles of ecstasy
become a sanguine mop
Further than a fever
warmer than a body-
still I go to work
Forget the dodgy bits for a minute
and notice the sun
as you hyperventilate
Something just isn't right
about the day, what with its
compete determination and mine
Someday I'll walk away
and every time I do something
it will be the for last time
