If Awakening



If awakening to Little River Band’s ‘Curiosity killed 
the Cat’ is tonic for the soul then I’m saved, not as 
an unrequited fibber, or cretaceous hangover from 
the Age of Plenty; this is Music of the 70’s - where, 
I guess, we came from, though we matured before 
that music made itself permanent space - which in 
these days fits perfectly, although back a ways we 
didn’t judge anything I can recollect that clearly 

I was awake was what I wanted to say - and yet it 
didn’t count until the past intervened and replaced 
decidedly higher hammocks, and events of th’ day 
took perspectives far away from the mundane and 
even brightened prospects, amazing; if you like, it 
was th’ view we had to grow into, or age-on bereft
