Too Late, Too Late


only really interested in Fridays
when they fall on the 13th

things I learn, questions I have

the people who could answer them 

now laying in a graveyard 

too late too late


steady north winds cold 

keeping leaves from stacking by front door

broom gets a day off

death will come when it will come

no need to leave no forwarding address


too much “Look how fast I can play! 

Aren’t I great?” these days

classical, jazz, whatever 


everybody is growing older 

except I who remain the same

a beautiful day with cold, light rain

an occasional biting wind to remind you of past indiscretions 

here’s one to the old ghosts 

that have returned 

to the mysterious regions 

of the Great Beyond 

too late too late


in many polls, January is the least favorite month

I would personally vote for April 

spring is here then

I want winter 

too late, much too late
