Mikaela Castledine #316 Various Positions

We all have our story
it was the first concert
I bought a ticket to all of my own
and went to all by myself
Various Positions tour 1985
I was twenty and already a poet
with a liking for sad deepness
he must have been 50 odd
more or less the age I am now
I went home burdened
and with no one to share it
never quite recovered
isn’t it something to think of it
how you got shaped
by whom
with what words
somewhere I still have the program
