All Quiet on Every Front

Where did all the foxes go? I haven’t seen as many since I came home. My neighbor says they moved on, bowed out and “sang their swan song” Left only empty burrows Like tiny wordless poems I miss the sound of their mischief in the middle of the night I wish that I could turn back the hands of time But I am, Falling by the wayside Falling by the wayside Washed out with the low tide I’m wastewater \u0026 bromides Swept away like dust under the rug Because no one wants to tell me The foxes are probably dead \u0026 buried alone oh When did Alexander’s close? Remember how Rafael would practically float With every toss of my hair, Johanna’s puppy dog stare “Italian on a round roll Hold the tomatoes” I still smell the fresh quesitos, that he snuck me for my mom. I wish that I could stop life from moving on. But I am, falling by the wayside falling by the wayside Smashed into the midnight I’m police lights \u0026 chalk outlines Locked up \u0026 left to slowly wither Inside a fading picture Of when I was young \u0026 dumb and not alone oh I’m just falling… Where did all the foxes go? When did Alexander’s close? Why was i the last to know?
