I wish i was 10.

I wish i was Ten.
simple number
simple life
waiting, lying in the grass
for Christie's gran to bring us sweets
perhaps some humbugs


I wish i was Ten.
queueing up in the dinner-line
repeatedly glancing
salivating, 
that chocolate cake with custard
how divine!


I wish i was Ten.
my biggest worry
how that maths equation was solved
it must be so easy for geniuses.
