I wait for the guide to calm her enthusiasm
I wait for the girls from Wakefield
To stop talking about the girl from Wakefield
Yet in these few moments of observation
And the writing up of those observations
The crowds are back and the children
Who were so peacefully serene in the garden
Are now told not to touch
Do not touch boys
Boys sit down sit quietly
Take out your drawing books boys
And begin to sketch the works
Sketch what you feel about the works
By the girl from Wakefield
The girl from Wakefield Girls High School
