fall - the social exchange between thousands of sweatered bodies; between umbrellas, hats, coats. contemplation of biological process - change, creating color and non-color: man assumes a greying countenance, while the natural rebels against this solemnity. clouds as the sun rises, rain on the ride to work, dampness that lingers overnight.all friends, family, and lovers crowd into warm bedrooms, glad if they don't have to pay for the heat. the city isn't big enough, nor human enough and beggars with references and business numbers huddle in the yard, want to trim our bushes, fix the windows. "i've been footing it for awhile," they say; and "i hate asking, but can you spare...?" everyone withdraws, inching closer to the fire to warm the blood, thickened with the cold.
