KEY STAGE

Key Stage 2

did you know that I still remember how you showed me a conker

can sizzle in your fist

as if you're holding the whole heat of the universe?

did you know that? 

 

did you know that when you're happy your eyes glow

like amber set in freshly fallen snow?

did you know that?


did you know that it's exactly 283 paces from the

front door to our favourite bench at the park?

did you know that? 


did you know that I love it when Sunday's slow sea

washes over you and me and we drift and drift and

drift?

did you know that? 

 

did you know that 1 hug + 2 chocolate biscuits = my

favourite kind of maths?

did you know that? 

 

did you know that when I walk home from school

and see his car on the drive

my palms start to sweat?

did you know that?
