GIRL WITH LOST NAME.
You remembered
the girl
not her name
but Ward
the kid next to you
in the science class
caught sight
of the girls
through the window
off across
the sports field
in their yellow tops
and green
short
P.E. skirts
and said
in hushed voice
look at that
all that girl flesh
and me stuck here
being brain soddened
by this science guff
when I could be out
with the girls
you saw her
out there
with skip rope
rushing after others
the sun warm
the sky hazy
the science teacher
sprouting off
about something boring
and Ward
his eyes
supping it all in
through the glass
the sports teacher
following
in her adult
blue top
and white P.E skirt
with whistle
between lips
and the girl
had been swallowed up
into the mass
of yellows
and greens
and legs
and arms
and the glass
of the classroom
like a huge
picture frame
holding for the eyes
the girls
in yellow and green
and the girl
with the lost name.
