I said that in my youth I had been a rebel
I have a mission of immense importance
I am an artist of the unobserved life
Better to be a salamander and live in the flames
Hotel rooms are not sanctuaries
Why don’t you tell me all about it?
His fine hands have found each other
Yes, tonight it is arranged that I will be morose
I steal the bicycles, you bring the whisky
He likes his monthly pay cheque and …
… pottering down the corridor for a coffee …
… and a natter in the canteen
He even likes the suit he has to wear
One day a letter reaches him
Relationships must deepen or die
He has a home …
… he has a friend …
… both new concepts to him
Strips of dew hover over the palace lawns
Few possessions survive so many moves
