The air is dry
Warm, as always
Hurricane season
two more months

The AC turns off
at least, usually
Windows open
two cheap months

Leaves fall but
you don’t see it
you notice them
Self-collecting
by the curb

So few trees here
turn, to begin with
And those that do
shed, the tiniest
leaves

Dunkin’ Donuts
though, sells
Pumpkin this and
pumpkin that
For two months
