new

i always see liz when i'm in the wired scholar.
she always looks like she's working so hard
and i always look like i'm on facebook.

i slept in so long today because i didn't sleep much this weekend.
and i woke up and it just felt like i was new wine in old wineskin.

i want new everything.

i want to start a new journal
i want new lists of goals
i want to write new songs
write new poems
i want to take new photos
start a new leaf

not that the old leaf is bad.

it's just time.

i kind of have a 2-year max doing the same thing.
so, that makes me one semester overdue.

i love the sound of my shoes clipping
on brick walkways.

it sounds a lot older than i feel.

i love when leaves fall and i see it.
the trees are ridding for the winter stay and

it makes me feel younger than i am.

more home in this season
than any other
and it always seems to pass the fastest.

maybe that's why i love it most,
because i know how shortly it will be staying.
just a few perfect days.

autumn always makes me want to be a poet.
