Adieu Fall

The sleeveless blouse, or the short-sleeved t-shirt?

A coat or a light sweater?

Maybe a thick long-sleeved cardigan will do?

Sandals, or shoes and socks?

Maybe those little lace shoes?

No. Something that keeps drizzle from coming through.

Turn up the thermostat, or just layer up?

Pull down the storm windows?

Fall, your dithering makes me wish for your quick adieu.
