If there were a biography about you, what would the title be?

The title ‘A Life in Places’

If I ever write the book.

I’ll scarcely be the hero

Just someone who was there.

---

I’ve lived in lots of places

Been through lots of things

But no I’m not a hero

My head kept mostly down.

---

They each come with a history

The places I have been

And that would be the focus

More than what I’ve done.

---

There’ll be Trieste and Cyprus

The Rhineland more than once

Time spent in Nigeria

And other places gone.

---

There’ll be a touch of tragedy

A death that cut me up

People I let down or met

Who helped me change my life.

---

Some parts are too painful

Perhaps it can’t be done

But yes I have a title

And that would be the one.
