WHATEVER HER NAME 1975.

[dadio]

And I suppose
she just happened
to be looking this way?
Netanya said

just happened
to be catching
your eyes
and she just happened

to be wearing
that darn skimpy bikini
so that you
could see nigh on

her backside
and what she had
for dinner?
I sat outside

the five berth caravan
on the camping site
a book in my hand
(Sartre most probably)

trying to focus
on the words
I was just sitting here
and she came out

of her van
and stood there
sunning herself
nothing to me

what she does
I said
O so the sight
of a bitch

nigh on undressed
does nothing for you?
O now isn't that
a new thing

maybe I just ring
the newspapers
and tell them
the news

Benedict has lost
his eyes for darn bitches
semi-undressed
huh? huh?

I looked over
at the sun coming
over the hedge
bright and brave

tried to let her words
float over me
like a bad smell
but still she went on

bet if truth were known
you've been praying
for her to get her butt
out here so you can gawk

nothing would
surprise me
she said
with a shake

of her brunette head
do you want to go
for a swim?
I asked

putting down
the book
Where's the kids?
Down at the beach

doing what kids do
darn swim
or make sandcastles
or look for dead

fish or crabs
she replied
or we could go in
and make love

on the bed
I said
she looked
at the woman

over the way
in her bikini
bright yellow
and quite skimpy

sitting in a deckchair
with her dyed
blonde hair
bit risky

she said
what if the kids return
and we're at it
lock the door

I said
she smiled
never thought
of that before

so we went
into the caravan
and I gave
one last look

at the blonde dame
in the bright
yellow bikini
whatever her name.

I enjoy reading your stuff. Line breaks keep a reader on pins and needles.

I loved 1975. What a year.
