They seemed excited
to be driving south
for the final day,
the dressing up, the atmosphere.
I’d felt that way too,
one summer,
because I knew
she felt important
at that kind of thing;
hobnobbing,
showing off her Burberry,
though we were still
on the outside of the fun,
wandering around
our virtual enclosure.
And I knew
it wasn’t enough
to queue for a pint
of warm Pimms.
It would never be enough.
