My Personal World, Part 12: I Would Just Replace Summer

If I ran the world, I would just replace summer.
With hot September Sundays for floaters and sunners,
Cool autumn breezes from college football's beginning,
The Fall Classic in the atmosphere for fifteen hundred innings,
A walk under the glow that the harvest moon's shedding,
Mixed with yellowing streetlights and treetops all red'ning,
and a new slate of classes.  I'd never stop learning
Over trivial thoughts of production and earning.
That's where I go, zoned out, with notebook and tunes,
My off-label cure for the Summertime Blues.
