We have hawk eyes
watching
for the moment when the hills
can decidedly be called red
instead of green.
We have hawk eyes
watching
for the day when there are more leaves
on the ground
than in the trees.
We have hawk eyes
watching
the thermometer
waiting for it to drop
for the frost.
We have hawk eyes
set on fall
ready for the colors
ready for the leaves
ready for the chillyness.

We'll lie on the floor
You're wearing the yellow hat I gave you
I'm wearing pajamas
We'll facetime and pretend
We're not just like them
We're not
Are we
Everyone could make excuses
for when the bears showed up late
to the party
fashionably late
they called it
but when the bears came early
no one
could explain the questions
away.
They're obsessed with social media and two-second dating
we talk about climate change and ski racing
they'll talk about what they're supposed to
we'll talk about the world's problems and what to do
