LATE FOR CLASS
Eucalytpus bark scrolls in the wind
as early footballers call to each other
in the park, hoping it won't rain.
My daughter's friend lives in
a different world from ours;
he is flying to there now.
Lots of silences live in my head
but can't find their way out.
Change yes change; change we must.
I am almost in a good mood
but here comes the rain
and dreams of somewhere else.
When crisis comes along
something in my brain shuts down
and it is hard to embrace life;
when tomorrow comes along
I always worry about next week.
Change yes change; change we must.
I am only human but not like you.
Future ghosts and old memories
conspire to make me doubt;
I can't find out how to work
with sorry or make-do. Untime me,
the now is still too near.
