Teacher by Ian Seed


Years later I come across

the woman I lost


my virginity to. She asks me

to lift up her dress


there and then,

to go down on her


on the grass verge

of the busy road,


the one I used to walk down

when I missed the school bus


which seemed to happen

more and more often


the more she wanted

me to do it.
