i wana be me!

revision_{by Fleur Adcock}

It has to be learned afresh
every new start or every season,
revised like the languages that faltered
after I left school or when I stopped
going every year to Italy. Or
like how to float on my back, swimming,
not swimming, ears full of sea-water;
like the taste of the wine at first communion
(because each communion is the first);
like dancing and how to ride a horse -
can I still? Do I still want to?

The sun is on the leaves again;
birds are making rather ^special noises;
and I can see for miles and miles
even with my eyes closed.

So yes: teach it to me again.
