August Will Terminate at Midnight August will terminate at midnight
and September will replace it that very instant.
A whole month will have passed
since the last shift change
when summer lost its libido
but gained its peace
and now the peace
will disappear into thin air
as a month of hectics arrives
the return of the harsh feeling of cold
the hustle bustle of back to school preparation
the excitement of beginning a new regiment
the exasperation of this new regiment
the exasperation that will make you watch the moon fade and appear
and wait for more libidinous, peaceful times
