the rain
I would know September
without a calendar
by the foot pound
of dropping Rose of Sharon blooms

remembering a world without seasons
wondering at survival. at all, really.

languishing in the arid and verdant alike
craving the clockwork of changing leaves

mining what could be: an obsessive self observationist
washing my unkind eye over the mirror
like winter high water

having never learned the art of the brag
a fish story with diminishing returns

a machine by any other name
energy given shape
a fish a finger a spaceship
this steam engine imagination
the where I live
