Best Times Still Intact
stood up,
but do not get down
they cannot you all the time
my best times are still intact
prey for my mind,
and assemble all the facts
stood in the dark
trembling at the knees
i stood at the gates
but i do not have the keys
they don’t hurt you all the time
they cannot take your mind
James Garratt – September 1997
