I have canceled and rescheduled so much this summer

That I have no feel for the calendar anymore

It says it is August, but it feels like October and I see

Leaves changing colors in bunches or around the edges.

That’s just what it has been like to be alive again after that

Seizure I had last month, a little mixed up comparatively

To before. Six weeks later and my perception is like water droplets

On fall leaves. I think I can see better, but it is still water on a leaf.

To admit sameness now is bitter as I feel I should be

Better compensated.
