Come Tuesday

They finally got there now
falling relentlessly
from a sky that mirrors the ground
got through my layer of thin blonde outreaches
wetting a scalp that has seen as much extent
of the color that fierce sky mirrors
For on the ground are leaves of a season passing
trampled to death under thousands of daily footfalls
the oranges and reds beaten out of them
much like the dignity of falsehood stripped from
a forgotten army who even I remember having pride
in being red
Yet these victims of organic decay
will have some incomprehensible form of revenge
their new form of grey mush stealing some
of the bright commercial themes from the
shoes that oppress and protect
more intelligent beasts
Come tuesday this cycle will still remain
though lacking innocent bystanders like me
who would rather spend time with, indirectly,
an ailing, aging Hobsbawm who ails from a
confusing interpretation of nineteen hundred and ninety-one
reflecting an even darker, dimmer shade of that sky
forcing me to reflect with intrigue,
for what if tuesday never comes?
