Another shooting
This time it’s kids down the street
Maybe it’s the guns

The quiet shows up
Even the vocal cat hushed
Last days spoke too much

Where is the red line?
When the crosschecks change the rules
Their acceptance dream

Did Sunday plan this?
Peppered the good with the bad
Heads down, I followed

As the summer fades
I tackle our ignored house
Luxurious time

Summer is walking
And snatching the college kids
I slow down and breathe

He leaves for college
First, a stop at the state fair
Tomorrow, New York

Final summer phase
Squeezing in all the top foods
That college won’t have

Piles across the floor
One box packed and on its way
Soon, he will follow

We quiet our night
Straight from dinner to loungetime
Now I’m the cat’s couch
