When the Bell Goes

When the Bell Goes

breakfast TV: toast
and talk of sweltering heat
in Scotland

crammed together on the bus
grey cigarettes

a rush of feet
charging out onto the fields
when the bell goes

Blackburn Rovers win the cup
a daydream about boys

rain bounces off the road
in Feniscowles
the steetlights flicker on

Jack barks
coming through the door - loud music

my brother in the bathroom
arguing
about the computer

owl hoots and snoring
break the silence
