Lizbeth waited
by the back exit
of the school
as I came out
I was with Dave
who walked on
best see you here
can't have
your ****** queen
seeing us
she said
I said nothing
but looked at her
and tried not
to be engaged
in too long a talk
having to get
the school bus home
and tried not
to see her eyes
which were drinkable
and her smile
which kind of
made me weak
at the knees
and her perfume
slight but there
o there
can't talk long
I said
got to get
the bus home
yes I know
won't be long
she said
her hand
touched mine
and she drew me
over away
from the exit doors
and said
can I see you
Saturday?
I can come over
on my bike?
I guess so
I said
only I'm maybe
seeing someone
I know who
she said unsmiling
anyway it
will be good
to see you
ok
I said
unsure of what
will follow
and she turned
and went
swaying her hips
her uniform
neat and tight
to her flowing body
she turned
and waved
and I waved back
and she was gone
and out of sight
(would I dream
of her that night?)
I got on
the school bus
and Jane was there
and she seems
to know
I thought
I swear.
