Facing Up
You
know that feeling
The
one that nags:
“You’ve
left something but can’t remember where…
In
fact, you can’t remember what it was you left”.
Well,
that was the life you thought you would be living.
The
playground games of goodies and baddies
When
goodies always won.
The
careers officer who could only spell teacher.
The
one night stand celebrating a diamond anniversary.
If
you stand just like that
And
half close your eyes
You
can almost see yourself
Coming
down the street the other way.
25 March 1999.
