A Crumb of Fall’s Austerity Bread

i miss Fall all year
i also miss Reagan’s grilled cheese sandwiches on bleached stale bread

the cheese wouldn’t melt
the cheese couldn’t melt
and no mold would grow upon my bleached stale bread

austerity is sort of like Fall
in that it keeps coming back when we least expect it

i miss Fall all year
maybe this time the cheese will melt
and perhaps the mold might grow upon my bleached stale bread
