For a moment I’m fooled. It’s so nearly you:<\/p>\n

box pleat skirt, lilac shoes, pink blouse pressed,<\/p>\n

hair fanned in a halo – but the face isn’t yours.<\/p>\n

You’re hidden inside a waxwork of you,<\/p>\n

looking through me, sapphire eyes<\/p>\n

have lost their light, become wolfish.<\/p>\n

reciting your lines, you know what to say<\/p>\n

but not when to say it,<\/p>\n

nodding when the answer’s no.<\/p>\n

Juliet Humphreys<\/strong> is a teacher and poet who lives in Uxbridge.<\/p>\n
