Subjectively speaking, I love and fear numbers
I go to NA, Numbers Anonymous
12-steps I love, the first step for mankind…
I adore

Decades are my favourite, each holds a box
Unopened but like all historical buffs, we know…
Treasure is only something that is unexpected
But with decades we know, we know
And you know what receipt comes with each…
Decade…..?

Music!  Genre, an anthem, a fashion a culture
From Gospel to Punk to Indie to Rave
To Mod to Metallers,  Goth to Romantics
A stand alone movement, you were something
You were someone..

But now, right now? This decade
and one the one before
What brand names appears on our receipt?
What Genre do we belong to too?
What youth culture, what identity?
………………………………......

Silence
