The Poets are Lying.

The Poets are Lying. 

Why are poets writing
About October?
They talk about leaves
Turning

They mourn the loss of summer
And welcome autumn
As though time
Has moved on

They are lying
I know this to be true
Because I am still
In July

I am where you were
Before you were gone.
