OLD MOVIES
OLD MOVIES
I’m almost embarrassed to admit
A feeling deep down in my gut
Some may identify as patriotism
Now considered to be old school
From an old black and white film
Featuring events before I was born
Yet somehow, they still resonate
Perhaps it is now that certain age
When one’s memory is to the fore
Having much greater significance
To me than back then, I suppose
It could just be the music, I guess
But also, those blurry street scenes
That seems as if it was all my own
Cars I owned, and much less bustle
Styles of course, and all those hats
Younger viewers just seeing history
Impersonal, and almost a fantasy
As they will merely nod and smile
But it’s just a movie, and artificial
Taking me back to then and there
But, do I really need to apologise
Because it is and was, my world
