come september

In and out of sleep
and consciousness-
it's hot where I am.

I made some change today,
with coins from my wallet
maybe with more
than that. But I can't be sure.

Black and white films
define us
and summer comes into
full bloom. I can smell
autumn.

My teacher once said no one
ever falls in love in the fall.
But I'm already in love, a
secret love
