why does the word autumn
have an n at the end?

is it because of the notorious way
that everything changes?

is it because of the natural colours
that dance when the leaves fall?

is it because of the nervous students
getting ready for a new year?

is it because of the nutty flavour
of pumpkin pie and grandma's homemade stuffing?

i think
that the n
stands for whatever you want it to.

i think
that the n
is just there
to mess us all up.
