“THE MEN IN BLACK” 19 March 03

I think of us
in The Small Hours
the memories and the adventures
and of one bunch of yellow flowers

of the blue suit you wore
at one of the many weddings we saw
of the day at Legoland
where the last picture was taken

but I know for all the good it does
you went off my rails.
so I utter to the Men In Black :

“Take these memories and wipe them blank.
I want the life before her. I want it back.”
