Urban Myth

The streets were easier.

They had names

and filtered into other streets

and some had shops

or pubs that I’d been in

and I got used to the

changing seasons,

differing skies,

sunsets and rainfall

and still I knew them.


Yet as I write this

page is held down

by four fingers and a thumb,

innumerable tiny hairs,

freckles and lines,

marks and knuckles

I barely know.

And I realise

I no longer know that place

like the back of my hand.

More tomorrow...
