Benny's the new boy
in class
he sits at the back
with some kid
called Rennie
while the teacher
Miss G
yaks on
about Schubert
or some feller
putting on
some LP
as they sit
and put on
interested faces
the girl who
smiled at him
on the school bus
is there
looking over at him
beaming like
a new sun
her eyes bright
as fresh stars
he looks
at her briefly
then looks away
storing her eyes
for some
other day.
