How dealing with the stress of moving home could lead to Alzheimer’s
Daily Mail, 26 June 2012
Now that we’ve moved
across town, sunny side up,
joined a nouveau set,
well heeled our habitat,
we don’t speak of yuppies
in quite the same way.
A nagging insistence
I for one would sooner forget
wormholes the distance,
some accents harder
than others to shake,
some cause my jaw to ache.
Our old neighbourhood
reminds me not of itself
but of my first school,
too small in every sense.
It’s how we must appear
to those starting from here.(c) 2012 Slush Poet
