girl in the park
watch her now
smudge of a girl
furtively pocketing conkers
I always feels like I'm stealing them
says she
feels like stealing...
but they fall from the trees for free
her pockets stuffed with chestnut baubles
useless treasure for spiders
shiny balls of good for nothing
but
they are so beautiful aren't they
she
holds one up in wonder
brushes
off the muck
and
holds up another
counts
the colours
calls
them red and brown and gold
horse and cello
and nuts
she'll
be late
she'll
be in for it later
but
she's always
in for it
later.
