It's chameleon patois
In schizoid iridescence and fluffy sky

I decipher everything
while trudging uphill as blind

not on the breeze in her lips...

he hated fall
leaves do fall
his spirits too
and raking leaves
he hated to do

but one day he
was to learn
that evil rake
your butt he'll burn

he stepped upon
the rake's sharp head
and holed his sneakers
he even bled
but just to add insult

the handle whipped up
and broke his knee...

 where fallen leaves begin to blow and rush
 across the forest floors in flutters

And then after that will take a break;
Rest for a while;
Nails would file;
Went home and cake started to bake.

Gone are the days when I sunbathed in ease
   Drank lemonade, and did what I pleased
      Betrayed by the Autumn kissed sycamore trees
         Now ...I'm up to my shoulders in...

gravel 
crunchy like carrots
except I  like them
can't say the same for 
what's 
grating to shovel
grinding to rake
and there's over a ton 
would've bought Thanksgiving

shoveling gravel
like putting up with a fussy baby
except I love the baby
hot...

Rake leaves in a pile
As big as my wildest dream
Then I jump in it...
