I think
we are well advised to keep on nodding terms with the
people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or
not.
Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us,
come hammering on the mind’s door at 4 a.m.
of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them,
who betrayed them, who is going to make amends.
We forget all too soon the things we thought we could
nevor forget
