AN APPLE FOR TEACHER

               

 

  "Will you give me a kiss for a poem" (Hesse: Siddhartha)


  my mistress is strict

  she disdains my advances

 

  love songs I write her for English homework

  are ill requited with an average mark

 

  she's too demure

  to countenance my onanistic fantasies

 

  deflowering her on my

  desk during lunch-break

  making love in the stockroom

  amid immortal English Literature

 

  all very educational

 

  we talk of nothing but set texts

  & the impending examination

  yet she excites an interest in the subject

  as if she’s trying to tease & test my sex

 

  I'd be a mug & sap like mad

  to be the teacher's pet her model pupil

 

  her classroom is my sanctuary

  weekends & vacations banish me

 

  perhaps a zealous student would request

  some after-school tuition

  chance to discuss love's syllabus in depth


  perhaps I should

  were it not for a sneaking suspicion

  a member of staff in the science department

  is plotting her graph
