Autumn's Coming

I took a walk from the apartment to the Kendall Square station.
20 minutes
The whole length of Third Street.
Passing through blocks
And trees by the wayside

I would hear my feet
When they touch the concrete sidewalk
Already dotted with
Wonderfully fallen leaves
An exclamation
My thrilled feet
In spite of my four dollar thrift shop rubber shoes
Singing
"Beatiful! Beautiful!"
