During spring
in the park
while at recess
she stammered up to me
looked straight at me
and shouted
“I have a rash on you
and I
would like it back
at your earliest convenience.”

I did not understand
what she meant
but
she fled
before I could ask for clarification.

It’s a shame
that she left so quickly
because she was cute
and I
would have liked to get to know her better.
