Yochana
sitting next
to the blonde
Angela
is in front
of the class
at the back
of the class
Reynard R
sits with me
while Miss G
is yakking
about Bach
his music
walking slow
between rows
peering deep
through her
thick lens specks
Yochana
looks at me
and mouths words
do not kiss
me again
I smile back
and mouth words
it was good
she stares back
unsmiling
while Miss G
stops yakking
glares at me
then looks at
Yochana
this lesson
is on Bach
and music
Miss G says
not ***-tat
Yochana
blushes red
looks away
I watch her
sitting there
her figure
her shoulders
her black hair
as Miss G
goes to her
gramophone
and puts on
boring Bach
as I think
of holding
Yochana
and kissing
on the cheek
or her lips
tomorrow
or next week.
