laminated cat

springtime comes

and the leaves are back

on the trees again

snipers are harder to see

weeding out the weekends

summer comes

and gravity undoes you

you're happy because

of the lovely way the sunshine bends

hiding from your close friends

weeding out the weekends

candy left over from halloween

a unified theory of everything

love left over from lovers leaving

books they all know

they're not worth reading

it's not for the season

when autumn comes

you sit in your chair

and you stare

at the tv square

hiding in the deep end

weeding out the weekends

winter comes

and the days all start late

there's motion on the boughs

where the dark shapes prowl

feeling all the feeling

feeling out the feeling

candy left over from halloween

a unified theory of everything

love left over from lovers leaving

books they all know

they're not worth reading

they're not worth reading
