This morning�s early burst of light burned out all the trees
Just then all their leaves churned up in a fiery bloom
Each of them falling in odd-timed unison from the sky
Tossing end over end down every sidewalk and avenue
Pea coats, knitted caps, hot coffee and swiftly burning cigarettes
Oh the ephedrine, the methamphetamines, land mines, time lines
Everything has its time to begin; but only each knows where to end
