fall fast forward

while everyone else goes on and on about the loveliness

of fall --

(richard are you making your voyage to see 
the "colors" again this year?)

my instinct is to run --
run
as
fast
as
i
can.

you can keep your cable-knit sweaters & crisp air.

i'm going to where it's always warm

&

i'm 

always 

happy.

to a little town called hopewell

and a little place called round hill

time to book the flights
