Everything leaves.

"I'm not sure why every leaf must die",

I didn't even know they did,

Behind me the world may not exist,

Just what's in front of my eyes.

If I didn't see a leaf fall,

Did it even happen?

Are you all actresses in my plot,

Barely configured.

It may seem vain but what else do we have?

People only exist when our lives intersect,

So who is to say they continue on,

Who are we to assume it?

Because we are taught that a leaf's lifespan,

Tumbles around the clock like a drunkard,

But I have never sat for long enough,

To watch it brown and depart.
