Hold On With All Your Might
holding onto lamposts
could never be enough
just like –
little yellow post-it notes are –
the revolution of petty office politics
wearing warm coats
just to keep out the cold
the belief is resolute
even if it is a little old
holding onto lamposts
look for an artificial friend
under artificial light
and then,
just hold on, with all of your might
James Garratt – April 2002
