The Coming of Summer the Fear of Fall

Listen to poem:
The Coming of Summer The Fear of Fall
David J Walker

Half-past every euphemism defining 
The truthfulness of youthful youth 
		or
The youthfulness of truthful truth 

Crumbling behind the chime of clocks 
And locks of hair lopped off along the way

Today is 
	Today is
Today

Listen for the pitter-patter of
Little feet 

Catching up 
Spinning calendars

Faster
	Faster

Summer is calling
	A fearful Fall
Is all 
one can count on
