Catapult small penknife a few stones handkerchief piece of string 1/- on the grass by Banks House is that it? Janice asks it's all there I reply why do boys carry stuff in pockets? essentials that is all I tell her she sits there on the grass in her green summer dress with that red cloth beret in her lap what do girls carry then in pockets? she empties a pocket in her dress one hanky one boiled sweet her gran gave and 3d and that's it she tells me can I have the boiled sweet? I ask her if you like she unwraps the boiled sweet and puts it in my mouth we could go to the beach next Monday if your mum says you can Janice says I study her blue eyes there're white clouds captured there I’ll ask her I reply a pigeon flies on by flapping wings inside me deep inside something sings.
