THE BOYS FROM ABOVE:

 

The boys in the year above went un-noticed, if they 

weren’t sports stars or thugs there was nothing to 

watch out for, so it came as a surprise when two twelve 

year olds stepped out of the fog & asked if I’d like to 

join a band. 

“We heard you play guitar” they said.

It was a random, a tangential thing to say, weird, 

having messed around with guitars since the age of seven 

I’d only started taking it seriously for the past eighteen 

months & it hadn’t occurred to me that there might be going

somewhere – was this a door opening into another world?

Despite excruciating shyness my mouth said,

“Yeah, I do”
