The Cassingle Revival

At least you had the decency to say "I'll see you later"

The streets are wider here

I watched you disappear

Such a simple thing became so complicated



And I watched my shadow shorten

Ankle-deep in autumn



Remember when I said you were too young

To start a story with "Remember when,"?

Well that was then, and this is appalling

But in the dappled sunshine

Underneath the clothesline

I spent this afternoon nostalgic for this morning



From certain angles

The skyline untangles



And your loyalties are divided

Between digital and vinyl

But I'm biding time

Until the cassingle revival

Because you promised when it happens

You'll return
