Exhibition Street

A stranger in your childhood mind;

Having strayed too far in the great outside

You've been shaped by a world you'd pre-despised

And now return home unrecognised. 

 

Dust now coats the antiqued thoughts

That tweak nostalgia of loosely laid laws;

Of pennies spent and pills inscribed

With the names you'd once romanticised. 

 

But time in lieu since sent you off

To hoove bare morsels from another trough. 

You've nibbled a few, and wanted more,

But aren't impressed with the current score.

 

But welcome back to the crossroads friend. 

Come choose a new path for you to upend. 

You've weathered since you were first here

So perhaps hereon it'll be more clear.
