coming down from the high
it’s a few minutes past november
and already I’m bracing for the calm
at some point I won’t be able to speak
the obvious truth
having already crossed the golden bridge
standing & waiting on the other side
in the meanwhile I continue my research
attempting to prognosticate
(with a little help from la niña)
how this very november
will be remembered
long after the first day or spring
november two thousand twenty
