Your Possible Pasts

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
They flutter behind you your possible pasts,Some brighteyed and crazy,some frightened and lost.A warning to anyone still in commandOf their possible future, to take care.In derelict sidings the poppies entwineWith cattle trucks lying in waitFor the next time.Do you remember me?How we used to be?Do you think we shoud be closer?She stood in the doorway,the ghost of a smileHaunting her faceLike a cheap hotel sign.Her cold eyes imploringThe men in their macsFor the gold in their bagsOr the knives in their backs.Stepping up boldlyOne put out his hand.He said: "I was just a child then,Now I'm only a man."Do you remember me? How we used to be?Do you think we should be closer?By the cold and religiousWe were taken in hand.Shown how to feel goodAnd told to feel bad.And strung out behind usThe banners and flags of our possible pastsLie in tatters and rags.Do you remember me? How we used to be?Do you think we should be closer?
