September

The breezes taste

Of apple peel.

The Air is full

Of smells to feel-

Ripe fruit,old footballs,

Burning brush,

New books, erasers,

Chalk and such.

The Sun is Stuck

The sun is stuck.

I mean, it won't move.

I mean it's hot, man, and we need a

Red hot poker to pry it loose.

Give it a good shove and roll it

Across the sky.

And make it go down

So we can be cool,

Man.
