My brain screamed at me
"Go! Enough of work today"
Grabbed my case and went
Passed drinking fountain
Three plant pots and notice board
To the vestibule
Pressed the down button
A fresh office girl had joined me
Long wait for the lift
We both smiled hello
"You are new aren't you" I asked
She nodded shyly
When the lift arrived
She entered first, which pleased me
Then hit one "OK?"
"Where else?" I then said
Silenced by other workers
Now piling aboard
At every floor more
Passengers boarded the lift
Our shoulders now touched
Lift was so crowded
I was wedged right at the back
With the office girl
Everyone faced front
On the long journey downward
Pressing each other
A curl from her hair
Fell across her pretty face
Wanted to kiss her
At last the ground floor
I reached down to hold her hand
Everyone spilled out
Into the dark street
"How about the flicks?" I asked
She spun round "Tonight?"
Ignoring the screen
Sticky hands still together
Our eyes kept meeting
