my moods change
with every season
they always have and
i know there is a term
for that
and a diagnosis for
that matter
‘seasonal affective disorder’
i have not been officially
diagnosed but i’m
certain I could be
the fall always brings on
sadness although
it is my favorite of the 4
it is a warning
that cold weather and snow
are just around the corner
when the rodents begin
stocking up on food
taking up an annoying
residence inside my walls
and the leaves are preparing for their
descent onto my lawn
giving me more shit to do
and the women of summer
are putting away their clothing
in exchange for
sweaters, sweatshirts, jackets
and long pants
i don’t want this
these things depress me
so i drink more
and diagnose myself with
alcohol affective disorder
and retreat as i always do
