We can always remember (80s poem)

Remember when you put a cassette in the video and it started to flicker when paused?

And when you played a cassette tape into a Walkman, you either fast forward, rewind and then forgot what the song was called!

You remember the time you said “hello” in the street 

Rather look at your phone,

And that times were less intense, so possibly you relaxed the mind to feel less alone.

Remember the skills we acquired, more methodical or astute,

Times less pacy but now manageable, stopped and relaxed and we gave a bit more of a hoot.

I suppose we pray now because the speed is hard to feel,

And that most things are a ‘quick wins’, rather than seeing the deal.
