Confetti
and the leaves
are falling
wrinkled
like the old do
and the young
are rushing about
as if
a magic pill
will be FDA approved
when it comes time to leave
and they’ll pop it
and go about their merry way
laying waste what’s left
somebody should have said something
somebody should have warned ‘em
maybe somebody did
but they were in a hurry
that day
and didn’t hear
