Prospects

A life of deposed disposition

An end to the Spanish

Or any other, inquisition


You had been the pretty girl

But, at least for now

It seems you have gone walkabout


I had been the dashing young man

But, at least for now

It seems other matters occupy me


Wherever tenderness was

There is tenderness no more

Such apparitions from a distant shore


We do not let it go

Though neither

Do we hang on


Our dear life

Is for that other life

Which rather speedily approaches
