Big Decision Bench by Rachel Fox

Moments of truth
Can feel so long
Especially here
On Big Decision Bench

This is mine, can you see it?
Madrid 1986
Somewhere up near
Plaza Colón

Looking at the map now
Maybe it was even
The Gardens of Discovery
A suitable seat

Mine was a common dilemma
Should I stay or should I go?
Does he love me, does he no?
You know the kind of thing

But years have passed and he's forgotten
A happy ghost, mistake unmade
And don't we all need at least one
Big Decision Bench in a lifetime?

It can be so peaceful just sitting
Like an underused striker
Watching all the different feet pass
Planning out a next move
