I was in hospital
And this girl
Was being discharged
And she packed
All her clothes
Into some black bags
And went to phone a taxi
She said her mum
And dad weren't coming
And I said not even
When you are in hospital?

So I casted my mind back
And I realised
That in the prodromal
Stages working up
To me getting detained.
I rebelled with some friends
We found a flat to rent.
I left in a hurry
And in retrospect
I remember I only
Took the bare minimal
It was a half hearted attempt
I used plastic boxes
I took cardboard boxes
And at last minute
Grabbed a black bag
For some remnants .
I would not have
Been embarrassed or
Maybe even remembered
The exact details
But a work colleague
Walked passed and
I became self-conscious
I don't think
They knew the situation.
And when my pal
Left to go home
I helped her pack
Her things into
Her mum's car
And I noticed
How meticulously planned
She was with the move
All perfectly connecting
Plastic boxes especially
For moving house.
Bye and good luck
With your life.
You will get career sorted
Above all I
Hope you find someone special.
