Since the majority of me
Philip Arthur Larkin
1922 to 1985
Since the majority of me
Rejects the majority of you,
Debating ends forthwith, and we
Divide. And sure of what to do
We disinfect new blocks of days
For our majorities to rent
With unshared friends and unwalked ways
But silence too is eloquent
A silence of minorities
That, unopposed at last, return
Each night with cancelled promises
They want renewed. They never learn.
