BACK THEN



she smiles
so
very 
unsure
walking out the crescent
to fetch kids from school

 (that dull soup
  that baptism by liar)

  and
  i
  am
out the front 
filling my bins
with dry pens and a boozy past
  and
i nod back
i know her from school

 (that conformity creche
  that lord of the fila flies)

  tho 
we never talked
back then

back then when
i was a freak geek 
my own strange bean
and so very unsure   
  
  back
  then
  
  before phones
