Piccadilly

Tie-dye and rainbows
From 10 til dark
Congregated
Flocked
To Piccadilly
Before concrete and fountain
Amongst the trees

Stayed through regeneration
This generation
Of students, blue collar, white collar

Younger back then
Free, communal, open.
Knew everyone
Loved anyone
Head-scarves
Flares
And air cushioned souls

Then we grew up
Moved on
Stopped visiting
Piccadilly
