september is the rape of summer

...and because of this,
september always gets me down.
i spend every september remembering my
warm and open and favorite
past two months
head in my hands,
deep sighs of longing for
June 30th of next year,
playing catch-up and restart
to school things
and
work things
and
boxed-in things
is
my friggin' september
*
[sour face]
*
and
all the while,
it starts getting colder right under my nose,
until
one day i wake up
and i'm freezing
***
i think
Greenday
when they sing:

"...summer has come and passed
the innocent can never last
wake me up when September ends

ring out the bells again
like we did when spring began
wake me up when September ends..."
*

uneventful, mundane, and typical september Thurs.

  2. Those top two pictures are hilarious. I feel just like that girl under the bench at this time of year, until I give in to the call of wolly socks, and hot chocolate, and tromping through crisp leaves, and trying to catch my breath.
