English poem
Girl
by Robert Ervin Howard (1906–1936)
Gods, what a handsome youth across the way. What shall I do to make him notice me? I must not be too obvious—there I'll shift my dress, demurely and let him see A quick glance of an ankle very trim; Then blush and smooth my skirts down hastily As if 'twere unintentional—Hell! The fool's not even got his eyes on me.
