Memory Lane – Thursday 6th September 2019

Memory Lane

when did fresh and new
turn into memory lane?
i remember,
when we first drove into –
this town ,
six years ago
i remember starting,
my new job
and i remember,
how fresh and new it felt
basking in its freshly lit heat
as my old life began to melt
exploring those new found streets
and,
here i am, back again
driving familiar routes
and seeing remembered signs
the passage of time
can take no blame
but when does fresh and new
turn into memory lane?
