simon armitage - a vision كلمات الأغنية

the future was a beautiful place, once.
remember the full-blown balsa-wood town
on public display in the civic hall.
the ring-bound sketches, artists’ impressions,

blueprints of smoked gl-ss and tubular steel,
board-game suburbs, modes of transportation
like fairground rides or executive toys.
cities like dreams, cantilevered by light.

and people like us at the bottle-bank
next to the cycle-path, or dog-walking
over tended strips of fuzzy-felt gr-ss,
or model drivers, motoring home in

electric cars, or after the late show –
strolling the boulevard. they were the plans,
all underwritten in the neat left-hand
of architects – a true, legible script.

i pulled that future out of the north wind
at the landfill site, stamped with today’s date,
riding the air with other such futures,
all unlived in and now fully extinct.

- simon armitage
