when we were young (3)
Dec 13, 2023
Now a thing in back of the mind. Diverse, inchoate.
It did have a name. It was all over the place.
But so what, it didn’t amount to anything.
The “so what” was the feeling. The name was The Movement.
Vague inspiration. From the Movement gods, above the clouds.
What had been banal got touched. My god, even the Rolling Stones.
Beggars Banquet. Let It Bleed.
Abbey Road. Wooden Ships.
Millworker. Tapestry.
Marx. Freud.
Volunteers. Rumours.
Workingman’s Dead.
Little Green, New Society, New Age.
* * * *
The beginning of a new age.
