Billboards

I never thought I could miss the whirring of a ship there it was in the channel, beacon of memories In the night, just beyond the sea wall at the end of the street I never thought I'd be reminiscing on such a thing Thought there was no such thing It brought me back to the chain-link tree swing, the trampoline and the dog The mosquitoes and the fog and the sidewalk I never thought I'd be reminiscing on such a thing Thought there was no such thing I never thought, no I never could come up with such a thing An invisible string of windows into the past Still it lingers for a moment, hope it lasts
