July will come and go just like the others
I pray it saves room for its cooler brothers
September never runs nor does October
Only offer their leaves, kindly and sober
Summer's hot and demanding, hopeful and fast
As soon as it's here - as soon as it's cast!
I tried to reel in the sun, but was only reflected
It isn't fair how the rays are falsely projected
Like summer, like youth, it never does last,
Like July and like you... becomes watery past
