My Senior school now has a canteen, but the primary (elementary) school I was in for 6 years hadn't, so the lunch box was a necessity. Always filled with horrible things I never wanted to eat (yet I was a fat little bugger), but the pictures were fun!
The rain we knew is a thing of the past -
deep-delving, dark, deliberate you would say
browsing on spire and bogland; but today
our sky-blue slates are steaming in the sun,
our yachts tinkling and dancing in the bay
like racehorses. We contemplate at last
shining windows, a future forbidden to no one.
Derek Mahon
