- Passage of time.
- Themes: time and its passing, everyday events.
- 'Fading'= slipping away, slipping out of youth, beauty starts to fade.
- 'The leaves fall in ones and twos'= on the cuspe of middle age, image of decay, slow changes hardly aware of it.
- 'Hollows of afternoons'= empty no substance.
- 'Assemble'= takes away humanity, just routine, unemotional, unexpected, mechanical.
- 'But lovers are all in school'= time relentless marching on, sense of time passing, hayday of youth gone, young taken over.
- 'Expect to be taken home'= suggests routine, children taking mothers for granted, demanding negative play on youth taking over, bad child parent relationship.
- Last 3 lines: cycle of life, as soon as you become a parent your needs aren't important.
- 'Thickened'= changed physical appearance, trapped in a world marginalised by marriage. Time takes away identity.
