Like copper pennies and most loved quarters
I am gathering leaves and flowers

But I am dropping moments and time
I am missing the season

Eleemosynary Ubiquity

Collapsed without a warning,
Around the corner from my street
Quite early in the morning.

From all the melting snow.
This weather, it befuddles,
Every day a different show.

Yet I’ll take even money

Called a Cicada - among other things!

Staying asleep befuddles me
Needing to flip the switch at the main
And turn off my mind you see
What wheels do turn
Screech round then stop
My head doth burn
Like flames ...
