Relative Something

.

goodbye april
is no reason to be alarmed
hello may may be a shock
get used to it
it’s not rocket science
some people have seen it
a hundred times
or more
what is a lifetime
of changes
that consistently happen
pages turning
with predictable regularity
upon finishing
line after line 
constantly yearning
to know what’s around
the next bend
binging adulthood
with insatiable indulgences
asking for seconds
politely
then clearing the table
without being asked
and excusing oneself
forever
