GIVING HER THE STARE.

[dadio]

On the way
with your father

to the building site
to put in

new windows
to new buildings

you saw this girl
on the platform

of the railway station
standing there

blonde hair
red mini skirt

white top
small handbag

on her shoulder
nice legs

you thought
right up

to her ass
(as the guys

would say)
taking a quick glance

before the train came
and took her

from your sight forever
and a day

she turned
and gazed up

the platform
to look for the train

you couldn’t see
the colour of eyes

too far to view
but her breasts

seemed small
but compact

her hands folded
in front

unringed fingers
(in with a chance

you mused)
but you guessed

she was out
of your league

she’d not give you
a second gaze

not speak
to the likes of you

in your jeans
and work jacket

and well cropped hair
standing there

giving her
the sexual stare.
