Matthew Anish Poet Concrete

Relaxing In Early Autumn On the Lower East Side

Sitting here listening to 
a baseball game on my radio 
I feel the joy of a new autumn 
The season of the high holidays
Halloween and leaves changing colors 
The season of the high holidays 
Halloween and leaves changing color
The season of the world series and football
The brutal heat of 
the New York City is gone 
Cold breezes caress our mortal frames 
My team - the New York Metropolitans
are winning 
I feel like I will 
  be a winner this season, too 
A season with a new lover, hopefully
  I've got women on my mind this fall 
Sitting here writing verse 
   feeling a tinge of anticipation 
  This late September afternoon
on New York's Lower East side 
I feel like I will
