Can I go in now coach?

I didn't go down to the beach today

but if I did

it would have looked like the photo above.

The late summer heat wave

that lasted the last two months

seems to be gone for now

Replaced by seasonal fall weather

like a eighth inning substitute

"Can I go in now coach?"

It's quiet in the fog this morning

and the usual traffic noise

has been replaced

by the sound of water

dripping off leaves
