Year in Pictures - Dick Diver

You were talking while I

Was watching people come through the door

I see this from the platform

Sliding away like a drawer

And I imagine you earlier

Imaging what this would be like

Moving ever further from

That point all the time

And I see

Year in pictures

In the drying out

Felt tip in my hand

And I think

What’s the difference

When the whole of the view

Will be gone meantime

Goodbye mannequin

Shops at night

And hello windows, windows, windows

And no return

To anyone else

You have been thinking about a joke too long

To later think you’re not that person now

You’re not that person anymore

And I see

Year in pictures

In the stretching out

Shadows on my hand

And I think

What’s the difference

When the whole of the view

Will be gone meantime

Whatever happens

I think everything will

Totally meantime
