Beyond the easily forgotten

Sentimental, awash with nostalgia

Do you remember, or are you scared

Think on; only of or from the past

No ideas here, for an unknown future


Even Nineteen-Eighty-Four is way back

There now a place no more than a wilderness

The easy rider’s have smoked their last cheroot

Today is it then only a reflection


But what of tomorrow; to walk naked

Down the high street, or some other form

Of soul baring, or extravagant expression

Rose petals in gardens falling, more or less to be


See, with our own eyes wide open

Close them only

For ourselves to dream

There to intensify our own, fresher thoughts
