Yehudit likes
the new boy
on the bus
she smiled has
he got on and
watched him walk
to the back
of the school bus
and sit in
a side seat
now she sits
at the front
of the bus
thinking about him
now and then
she looks back
over her shoulder
but he's looking out
the window
not at her
so she looks
forward again
musing on
what his name maybe
and whether he'll
be the type
she wants or likes
he looks good
the quiff of brown hair
the hazel eyes
-she gawked him good
as he got on board-
and he had that
Elvis smile
-feels goosebumps-
she thrusts her hands
between her thighs
and smiles to herself
in anticipation
scenery goes by
trees
hedges
fields
cows in the field
telegraph poles
birds in flight
in the sky
but all she
can think on is
what is his name?
and wondering
if he is looking
at her now
but she guesses
not somehow.
