AUTUMN AGAIN

the 
smells again
now 
its autumn again
like 
the oven again
the 
black 
metal 
warming 
up
and the heating again
those 
old 
pipe clicks
and the dead afternoon again
the 
empty 
air
under a dead mouse sky
and the memories again
all 
the 
army coats 
i 
wore
and the sudden evenings again
falling 
dark
like
armageddon hugs
on 
college commute trains
and 
the home car drones again
to
scald hot taps
and
ice tile floors
and
the
long long nights again
to
the
lazy ink smudge dawn
