Outside Minster Prep.



Behind darkened glass
cocooned inside their 4x4
two small children wait.


Gucci’s pushed back, a woman 
(the nanny or their mother?)
leans around.


A bell rings. It is time.


A window glides down.
A rear door opens.


You notice
as they step into the light -
these children 
have the eyes of deer.
