Almira Holmes
Woman Driver
I've damaged the side of the car,
scraped it along a wall
too low for me to see,
as I reversed round the corner.
He won't let me forget.
It's only a small scratch
but he'll remember it to kids,
family, neighbours,
milkman,
cat,
dog,
budgie,
postman,
lollipop lady,
speaking clock,
Cousin Gerald in Australia,
girl at the supermarket checkout.
