I SEE JANE.

A BOY AND GIRL ON A BUS IN 1961

I see Jane
on the bus
Saturday

shopping day
with her mum
at the front

I take in
her dark hair
long and loose

her summer
flowered dress
how she moves

with the bus
side to side
I wish that

I was there
beside her
our bodies

touching each
arm to arm
but she is

at the front
and I am
at the back

with others
mentally
I begin

from my palm
to blow her
a hot kiss

hoping she
will get it
on her neck

or cheek and
it not miss.
