You were there as I took my first, timid steps
into independence
pushing your way in, and I,
naive and alone for the first time,
forgot to banish you.
So you made yourself at home at my new home
and my school
Together we explored beautiful and exotic places
Unlike me, you were never shy of the film
Years later your successors are more
retiring, discreet
They do not shout their presence
They have no sense of their own self-importance,
as you did
But I do not mourn your passing
No, rather the opposite
I find I had forgotten you existed
And so as I scan, and memories return, I smile
Then
with little sentimentality
I Gimp you gone.
Brilliant!
