My mother had always strictly policed the way I spoke at home
I thought I felt the movement of the world turning
Minute wrinkles appeared at the corners
I feel as if it were a mountain to climb
How lucky I was to lie like that
We were private up there
They seemed to talk in code above my head
What does it look like?
But I couldn’t give in
Something has to happen
But my attention is all thrusting forward, onward
A sleepy, viscous, sensuous emanation
His future was somewhere else
I’m looking forward to the change
It’s sad out there
I’m sorry to barge
People often made this mistake
A team – that’s how it felt
The world performs miracles
Day after day, running from here to there
Everything will happen as you want it
He’s done enough for you
So that’s where you were all night?
Then there were his bad days
You have to do something
He turned his face from her
They would be home before night fell
The weather grew cold and there was snow
They had left nothing to chance
No one ever talked about it
Some of them danced with girls from the town
But nothing happened except that ordinary life came back
Everyone was waiting for something to happen
I don’t go out much
She nodded but said nothing
Each new decade burying the previous one
New experiences take the place of old ones
Now I must ask you to leave
You probably think you had a hard time
I’ve been waiting ever since!
Still full of memories
I think you’ll regret it
I know I should say I wish you well
I’m thinking of leaving
I now belong to an incredibly exclusive club
Watching the world go by
Would you like to come swimming with me?
Didn’t it change everything?
But happiness like that is hard to hold on to
I feel like a new person
