the girl

the girl playing downstair is about 7
the girl who beat me last night in front of the house of the 7 year old used to be 7
and i used be 7 and i played like the girl downstair
she picks leaves from trees
she lays them on stairs
she sits next to her collection
she sings
she runs home when her mum calls her
and she screams it's gonna rain.
