What did that bit of skirt
want with you
this morning?
Ro asks
I look past him
outside the fence
at kids walking
onto the high school
playing field
just to talk
skirt's don't want
just to talk
they are always
after something
Ro says
want to tie you
down to something
or be their boyfriend
or something sad
like that
no just talk
and not much
of that
I say
she seemed nervous
with you
who wouldn't
and he laughs
anyway how about
a ball game?
Ok
I say
I look away from him
hoping to see
the Shoshana girl
but I don't see her
so I walk with Ro
on the field to play
and other boys
up ready to play
then I see her
sitting on the grass
with some other girl
and she waves
and I wave back
but don't go over
I'm playing ball
on the right wing
but gazing at her
was like hearing
an angel sing.
