I'm missing out on autumn
Taking a break from the leaves
A pause on my emotions.
But I know when the sun comes up
They’ll just come rolling in on their tandem bicycle.
"Hello,
It’s me again,
How do you do?"
You tip your hat
Your hair slicked back.
I don’t like this ball
This room is too cold
And my corset is making it hard to breathe.
Why can’t it be me
Fanning my face
Shaking my tail
One smile less makes me sneeze
I shrink back down
An excuse.
That’s all this moment is.
What am I going to do now?
I’m missing out on autumn
I can’t wait to see the leaves
But I really do hate the wind
It puts my hair in tangles.
