echoes of midnight trains winding through naked branches
freshly mown lawns smothered in caramel leaves
corn mazes and cheaply dressed Halloween ghouls in exhausted fields
summer�s favorite movies on DVD with 50 minutes of never-before-seen footage
pumpkin-ice-cream-induced brain freezes at the candy shop
new tubes of chapstick thawing in jeans pockets
brown squirrels mashed against gray pavement
rough drafts of English essays huddling next to the computer
seed helicopters assail cars speeding down residential streets
students swaddled in crocheted scarves and scratchy coats
thrice re-heated mugs adorned with coffee stains
gourds on sale at the corner of Sandusky and Bright
buses making their rounds in pre-dawn chill
