Times When I Strange

Times When I Was Strange

there were different times
times when i was strange
times i will never live again
three of four years in your past
becomes really compact
as you get older,
seems like your mind,
edits all your memories together
seems like it invents the weather
and changes everything
snatches of things i have long forgot
occasionally come back
but time goes on,
never staying the same
those were different times
times when i was strange


James Garratt – July 1995
