Sit down Coles
you are unable
to answer the question
I have asked
Parrot said.
I sat down
and watched
a few hands rise up.
He chose a hand
the skinny kid stood up
and answered the question
with stutter and spit.
But it wasn't it.
No no
Parrot said
anyone else
have a clue?
No hands went up
and so he gazed at us
with his dark eyes
Have you not
been listening
to what I have been
teaching you
this past term?
None had
it seemed.
I noticed you
just ahead of me
how your fine hair
fell over your shoulders
and the outline
of your bra-strap
through your white blouse.
Parrot went on
relating what
we'd missed
and your head
was turned
and the lips
I hadn't kissed.
