Skill Set

A Friday afternoon

In the hairdressers

At the bottom of Beaumont Hill

A pleasant summer’s day walk

Down the unadopted lane

From Mon Plaisir


I was taught how

To scrunch my hair

Whilst I blow-dried it

This, by the young woman from Liverpool

Who also asked

Where it was that I was going that evening


In this way, one with one

May become a twosome

Or the twosome already

May recoil to one away from one

I don’t remember where the dance was

Or if we ever did make it
