FALLING
This isn’t happeningPlay it down
Dress it in Levis or a babygro
Buy it a hamburger
Buy it a drink
Put it out with the cat
Make a credit card arrangement
With the taxidermist on Upper Street
Book it a package deal
Where icicles go
For their holiday in spring
This isn’t happening
And it’s doing it so fast.
