I gasped when I saw
my Teacher in 'bubs';
women like Miss Tilly
weren’t on Play School,
they were on
the grown-up movies
I wasn’t allowed to watch,
couldn’t understand:
Where the men and women
seemed so Adult,
until they met each other.
then they were
just kids in Big Bodies;
childish_weak,
fools for Love:
unlike
my speechless
green infatuation
that first school day
too young_
to be a fool.
