The scene is set
And here they are...
In the park, in the dark,
Wollaton Park not Central Park.

The day is past, the time is then.
These people who were living life in a dream...
Tomorrow was a sentence rather than a promise,
And these people, blue in their blazers,
Must have seen something amazing -
A teenager in spider costume or a future without work.

Sunrise rather than sunset,
The dream rather than the fact.

The scene is set and here we are,
In the park, in the dark -
The make-up itches but the costumes fit,
And all we have to do is act.
