Gloved against environment and deaf to natural noise — the mutiny of leaves — no interaction — he remains aloof indifferent, strips the grass by cold degrees — heaps dead bodies, chivvies them in piles without a thought, pollutes — spreads drifting fumes kicked out by the blower — takes his ponderous time — the engine sputters half the afternoon before he’s done, the tainted air grown dim as he trudges too and fro with shovelfuls — denies the earth its due — its right to rot. A job’s a job — he plods, mechanical. Not for him, tradition’s rake and compost heap or satisfaction — working through his part in the year’s turning — knowing he connects with something deep at its organic heart. He stands at odds with Autumn’s universe — an alien who never learned to love or understand its nature. Even as the engine dies more leaves fall from above.
