Yochana
sits beside
Angela
her best friend
Miss G plays
Beethoven
on the old
gramophone
piano piece
sonata
Yochana
likes this one
the music
stirs her up
conjures up
images
desires
Angela
looks behind
at the back
of the class
she sees them
the two boys
sitting bored
eyeing her
Rowland pokes
out his tongue
but Benny
has that smile
that hair quiff
how is she
he lip talks
Yochana?
she turns back
to the front
he's looking
she informs
Yochana
that Benny
I don't care
about him
Yochana
says softly
(not wanting
to disturb
Beethoven)
but she does
she senses
his hazel
eyes touching
her body
bringing out
hot flushes
distracts her
emotions
from music
Beethoven
(poor Ludwig)
pushed aside
and she feels
Benny’s eyes
hazel warm
look inside.
