Autumn Leaves

Raining now and too warm
for the last day of Autumn
at least the way I view the calendar
in four equal three month seasons
which is pretty much how it goes down
here in New England but it's
still warm enough now for moths
to collect around the outside light
and a lone and hardy mosquito
cruised me a couple of days ago too
meanwhile the South is dry and burning
while the President isn't at all presidential
and the world, from this vantage,
seems to have suddenly tilted sharply
like the stern of the Titanic high in the air
as the bow plunges asunder.

Some will say this is necessary,
even part of the plan, while I,
myself, have no idea.
