CONTRASTS OF PURITY AND DARKNESS.

TWO SCHOOL BOYS AND A SCHOOL GIRL AND THE CONTRASTS OF VISION IN 1961

The way
Miss Manners

sat
on the school desk

when the teacher
was out

of the room
or before

he came in
hands on each side

of her thighs
flat

on the desk top
her white socks

hugging her carves  
and black shoes

toe touching
and the knees rubbing

each on each
and Boxy said

nudging you
giving her

the eye
wouldn’t mind being

her bicycle seat
and the sunlight

lit up her hair
angel like

sitting there you thought
the hands small

palms down
the fingers

slightly spread
the nails

pinkie white
unchewed

and Boxy whispered
bet she’s screwed

his breath
easing out

sweetness
of bubblegum

wouldn’t mind
kissing her bum

he sniggered
there was

where the sunlight
caught her profile

that contrast
of light and shade

the nose
the lips

slight spread
and where

the sun lit her
a halo shone

around her
virgin head.

Definitely a concise and well written perspective on contrasting emotions. It paints a vivid picture with minimal words. Well done :)

Thank you, Knightingale

I met a writer in France who had a similar minimalist style. An amazing grasp on the English language. I was reminded of his work, reading this. He was an older man and I learned alot from him. I believe I might accomplish similar learning experiences on this site. Thank you for sharing.
