self-discovering

Back in the 80s,
When I was 19,
I worked in Dublin
At “Cineworld 20”.

My German was good,
My Spanish improving,
Disliking techno and rave
With a vengeance.

I’m rather sporty,
To mention a talent –
A silent war
Against things established.

No favourite movie,
And shrugging of shoulders,
Whenever you give me
That crap about studies.

I manage superbly,
Thank you for asking.
Any more questions?
Don’t bother to knock ●

Auld Reikie

People passing quickly
Through an ending summer,
As if in haste for autumn.

Teeming city streaming
Faces touching ages,
Drowning in a misty past.

Shapeless figures crowding
A darkened stage in silence,
Glaring down upon today.

Cobbled streets are leading
Bodies back and forth the hours,
Spent in passing by.
