We used to write letters
and wait
for the post to come.
We used to go out
get lost
and have mystery fun.
We used to get bored
and try
to beat the humdrum.
We used to sit around
play board games
until we won.
We used to drink
all day
like father like son.
We used to ride bikes
and climb trees
until the day was done.
We used to make dens
in the woods
with our imaginary guns.
We used to fish
on the canals.
Never caught one.
We used to play in the streets
bruised knees
cut thumbs.
Now we just stare at a screen.
Linked to a machine.
That makes us dumb.
We Used To
