Back Then


He was so exciting

back then

such a dresser,

quiff falling over face,

cigarette hanging from lips

cool, cool, so cool 

back then.

And he found me exciting

he found me cool,

I was the envy of my friends 

back then.

And now,

where are they now 

that boy and girl

from back then.

Not here

though 

still

sharing space

but remote

disconnected

from each other

with uncool clothes

and uncool hairstyles

dreaming of what they had

dreaming of what they lost

dreaming of how they were

back then.
