Not because of what I almost told
My boss's boss on Tuesday
Or because the veranda needs shingles
And the garden should be turned over soon
Maybe because the prices of apples
Is less than the round of donuts
And the sound of small birds
Is soft, like melted copper drops
Maybe because I'm out here on the lake, chasing bass
Only because the canoe was blue
This September day is warm, the tackle-box brown
And the aspens a darling shade of yellow.
