Guilt and Regret
50.
Christine,
probably the only girl I never fancied
(and still, to this day,
I could love every woman I've ever met)
and it does her credit
because she looked like my mum
taller and thinner,
but the same red hair,
the same tilt of the head.
Thank Dog she wasn't Irish,
or I'd have been lost
and besides, she was better than me at maths
which galled me no end
but that was my poblem not hers
and besides, she liked boys.
