Paroles de Anniversary

Fall and all attendant memories Crowd the day with unrelated histories Each year leaves its unresolving fantasies To hang around each corner Hang around each street. Thick with ghosts, the wind whips round in circuitries Carrying words as strangers exchange pleasantries Do they intrude upon your private reveries As they meet you on each corner Meet you on each street. Watch for daily braveries Notice newfound courtesies Finger sudden legacies As they clean up every corner Wash down every street. Mark the month and all its anniversaries Put away the draft of all your eulogies Clear the way for all your private memories As they meet you on each corner Meet you on every street. Make the time for all your possibilities. They live on every street.
