Day Off
Outside my window, leaves are falling
soon I will be rising
today’s great decision
toast with jam? Or without?
ah, such a comfort knowing you’re at work now
somebody has to keep this world turning
I see you
alert at your desk
tail up, ready for the hunt
permit me to poke an arm out from under my quilt
to salute you
oh, if only I could join you there
on this royal morning
but somebody has to keep an eye on those leaves.
Fall
The world is ending
I see its leaves being gathered and stored
held in dark green bags that
strong men will remove at dawn
the leaves don’t cry
why do I?
