Every Year About This Time

The colors are late this year.
We say that every year about this time.
I think it’s our eagerness to see them.
But this year it’s true. They’re late.
Still, the goldenrod is everywhere—
in the fields, along the roads,
anywhere, really, that it can find a spot.
And look how perfect the corn!
September knows what she’s doing.
