There is always an England that’s dying

There is always an England that's dying

sweets you can't get any more...

makes of toy....

comics ....

publishers ....

shops ....

buildings ...

tools...

appliances

old comedian and actors...

there is always an england which is passing on, to be known no more

sometimes noticed in its passing

sometimes barely seen or mourned

and there is always an England which is being created...

new songs

new sounds

new ideas

new buildings

new words

new shops

new habits

...
for it has never been new to say
everywhere is always dying and birthing,
passing on and being reborn,
recreating itself and being re-created,
being destroyed and rebuilt,
spurred and slackened,
is always simultaneously rising and falling

...
Its simply very difficult,
in the here and now,
to see how much of either there is and
what the outcome will be
...
