In my youth i played at trains: now all steam is gone.

In my dreams brief shelter from the rain

I try to catch the fireglow...

With dinky toys i thought that i was stirling;

With cricket bat i say myself as peter may;

Now with all these images returning

I wonder who i am today?

As a child i refought the war with plastic planes

And imagination:

I sank tirpitz blew up the mohne dam these and more--

I was the saviour of the nation!

Oh! to be the captain of a ship of war!

The pilot of a tempest or a york!

To hold my trench against the panzer korps

Instead of simply being one who talks

And reminisces of his fantasies

As though life was nothing but to lose...

These only antecede the knowledge that eventually

He must choose....

It's a h

Allmark of adulthood

That our options diminish

As our faculties for choice increase

Till we choose everything and nothing

Too late at the finish.

In my youth i held belief: my faith and thought were strong.

But now i'm stripped of every leaf and it robs me

Of the sight of right and wrong.

Oh! to be the son of che guevara!

One unit in the serried ranks of black!

A papist or an orangeman a eunuch...

Then doubt would never cast the dagger in my back.

Oh! to be king john or douglas bader

Humphrey bogart or victor mature!

Which one is false and easy

Which one harder?

--of that

Of this

Of me

I'm really not too sure.
