The Inescapable Oneness of Man
At school, uniforms
Were customised, twisted
With the permissible accessories,
In styles of wearing,
Indications of departure as
Unique human beings
Only to be drawn back
As the milestones mount up
To reunions of the same
Old(er) faces, each
Brought closer together
With every passing year
Under mortality’s thumb
DB Fishman, 2012
