Pete Dowe - My First Crush

I gasped when I saw
my Teacher in 'bubs';
women like Miss Tilly
weren’t on Play School,

they were on
the grown-up movies
I wasn’t allowed to watch,
couldn’t understand:

Where the men and women
seemed so Adult,
until they met each other.

then they were
just kids in Big Bodies;
childish_weak,

fools for Love:

unlike
my speechless
green infatuation

that first school day

too young_
to be a fool.
