I sat with Tilly
in the park
in her lunch hour
from work.
How was your morning?
I said.
Busy as hell,
she said,
never seen
so many customers;
needed this rest.
I passed her
a sandwich
from the paper bag,
and ate one myself.
She looked ****
in her work uniform
especially as the dress
rode above her knees.
What have you
been doing?
She said.
My half day;
so I thought
I'd come see you,
I said,
plus I wanted to buy
an LP of Elvis.
Did you buy it?
She said.
Yes,
and I showed her.
I'm more into the Beatles,
she said.
You'll have to bring
one of their albums
and we can play it
on my record player
in my room,
I said.
I'm sure my mum
will let me, will she?
Tilly said.
Of course if
she doesn't know,
I said.
Benny she
knows everything;
I bet she has
spies on me,
Tilly said.
All innocent,
just playing an LP,
I said.
She smiled;
innocent with you,
be more innocent
if Christine Keeler
was involved,
Tilly said.
My mum wont mind
you listening to Elvis
or the Beatles,
I said.
I'll see;
until she's
in a good mood,
Tilly said.
I'll be old by then,
I said.
She laughed.
I will try
and get to your place;
I'll tell her
your mum said
it is ok,
and she'll be there,
Tilly said.
I sipped some coke,
and she ate
her sandwich.
I gazed at her knees,
at the way
the work uniform
hid her gems.
I can open up
a bottle of wine
over from Christmas,
I said.
Tilly raised her eyebrows;
I'll try and come;
no promises made.
I nodded,
and felt the sun
on my head
and wished
for some shade
