Miss Billings
rode her motorbike
into the forecourt
of the garage
and down the side
which led
to the workshop.
I watched her ride
her blonde long hair
pushing out
from her headscarf
and helmet
and her goggles
insect like.
I served a customer
who drove up to a pump.
Once the car
had driven off
after paying me
and taking a receipt
I went back
to the little
front office.
She came
to the office doorway.
Benny boy
have you missed me?
she said.
I gazed at her
with her flowing
blonde hair
and her glasses
with the coloured frames.
I looked at her
Marilyn Monroe figure.
Yes
I said.
Why have you
missed me?
she said
I am such
a ***** to you.
I like it when
you're around
I said.
Do you fancy me Kid?
she said.
I felt my face
redden.
You do
she said
in laughing voice
you've no chance Kid
and walked away
inside.
I hadn't said I did
but maybe I did
deep down
hidden from sight.
Sometimes in bed
late and dark
I snuggled down
with my image of her
and switched
off the light.
