if around this itme
I should hear
behind me
through the window and the wall
sounds
steam and protest
from large tires on the street
I can’t help but think of autumn
and of yellow
the schoolbus that’s allowed
to pass and
when
need
be
stop traffic on its own
pleasing
instruction
and associative
announcing
school
and now the end of school
the day’s
accomplishments
while
we might not be done but if we’re children
are
sense of release
from
well
release
and now to use our legs or our own wheels
if we need them
to go to
honestly
to
snacks
and thinking or not thinking about
about what’s next
before the yellow truck with
seats
should
pick us up
again
too early for the new day
of a new day
the final journey for the 180 year
the start-up healthy
wheezing trip
in
August of
a year
we say in this context
must be
new

Is it really in the sixties?
That is so nice
Today or tomorrow
Is the equinox
And fall will be official
We want it to be fall, I think
The leaves to turn
The air to be a challenge
Time for coats
And yellow schoolbuses
Easier to see
Take care
Autumn has its challenges
Practice looking out
For trick-or-treaters
First frost
