NO IDEA


I have no idea
how long it had been
since I'd last seen her
but as I turned the corner
into the lane by my flat
there she was in front of me
attractive and sexy
in little shorts and vest

she exclaimed “hello Colin”
and then talked non stop
about people she knew
and how they were
before asking me
“have you seen mum lately?”

I told her I hadn't
and after asking where I lived
she said she would
come and see me
asking if that would be OK
I said it would be
and contiued on my way

I have no idea
when it was I last saw her
as I have absolutely
no idea who she was
