First
days at school
(for Lisa)
before the first day
best dress and shoes
long socks pulled up
up
headmistress’s desk
at eye level
talk above my head
another girl
my size
her tall mum
with tall hair
shadows at the window
first day
bell
pinafore tied
tight
too long
too big
hand me down
big blackboard world
cold milk bottle
I wanted
a pencil sharpener
shade at play lunch
the other girl
beside me
she was
she is still
