Learning Curve

“Now be good

And don’t cry

When you go to school.”

I nodded,

Though wondered and wondered

Why I should.

Maureen Flowerday cried twice.

Frail and dishevelled

She held my hand by the sand

And we were friends -

Superglued all afternoon.

She contained her tears for a while,

Until they brimmed over

And touched the rest of her life.
