The Eleven-Plus
Football over, mown grass,
heady scent. School photo,
earnest expressions
squinting into sun.
Yearning, inexplicable,
unspoken crush
on a blonde-haired girl
with snub nose and pudgy face.
Winners and losers.
Another girl, dark-haired,
stared moodily after me,
had I but known.
Dusty sang I Just Don’t Know
What To Do With Myself.
