The Noise of Time ...

I'm reading Julian Barnes' The Noise of Time - 

I know that I, too, would wait for the lift doors to open, that my name would be on a policeman's list - 

Men smoking Belomory cigarettes would enter the hallway - 

The fearful city would be silent - 

The moon would stop moving across the sky - 

I'd remember a basement bar with a fringed light shade - 

I'd murmur the words of a vodka toast - 

One to hear

One to remember 

And one to drink -
