September

then the flowers became very wild

because it was early september

and they had nothing to lose

they tossed their colors every

which way over the garden wall

splattering the lawn shoving their

wild orange red rain-disheveled faces

into my window without shame.

stumbled upon this old ad

for what may have seemed the perfect solution

to the age-old dilemma:

what to choose when caught between the seasons?

hot soup or cold drink?

why not just combine them?

here we find ourselves in september again, along with lots of babies!

september is by far the most popular month to be born. it isn’t even a close race. september has 9 out of 10 of the most popular birth dates, with september 9th being the most popular date of all. using my holiday math formula, it’s easy to find a clear correlation between the end of the old year through the ringing in of the new year, and the volume of early fall arrivals.

1 january new year’s eve party = 1 to 1,000,000 september babies
