Fall Should Be Here Now

Waiting for the phone to ring
I know I can’t control such things
the air so quiet asking
for that buzz to break
my breath

Fall should be here now
I’ve been counting down
it’s nowhere
to be found the sky is cartoon
blue in this California town
the rains are overdue
I’ve found I don’t have a plan
I want to stick to

Night is sleeping into day
and I’ve perfected every way
to put off what I need to say
to push on forward

Waiting for the phone to ring
I’m caught up in an endless
stream of what ifs and self
questioning — I’m learning
to control these things.
