charles simic - late september lyrics
the mail truck goes down the coast
carrying a single letter
at the end of a long pier
the bored seagull lifts a leg now and then
and forgets to put it down
there is a menace in the air
of tragedies in the making
last night you thought you heard television
in the house next door
you were sure it was some new
horror they were reporting
so you went out to find out
barefoot, wearing just shorts
it was only the sea sounding weary
after so many lifetimes
of pretending to be rushing off somewhere
and never getting anywhere
this morning, it felt like sunday
the heavens did their part
by casting no shadow along the boardwalk
or the row of vacant cottages
among them a small church
with a dozen gray tombstones huddled close
as if they, too, had the shivers
