‘Diana’s read them all.’

‘And what did she say

about this little beauty?’

‘She said it’s a red herring.

We’re looking for a boy’

‘Was this in the pile of poems

she showed you?’

‘No.

It was among the lot

in Mickey’s room.’

‘Who do you think it’s to?’

‘I haven’t a bloody clue.’

‘Let me help you.

It’s Mickey’s version

of To Sir With Love.

It’s breathless gratitude

to her fucking teacher.’

Lou slurps her tea

and smiles

‘Reads more like

breathless infatuation’

I say

wanting it to go away

‘I suggest’

Lou’s pompous

in her triumph

‘you workshop this one

with your girlfriend

again

you must be a slower learner

than Mickey.’
