Filmed in my filmy white dress
kissed hard by Robin Hood
against the gnarly tree
the TV shines Lincoln green.

Friar Tuck and my cat
get gooseberried
with the homework
(page 62, questions 1–10).

Me and Robin Hood
curl on the corduroy settee
licking the sugary cement
out of Bourbon biscuits.

Me and Robin Hood
roam Battersea
avoiding pavement cracks
and fact-checkers.

Around that time we vow
to live outside the law
like Bonnie and Clyde,
me and Robin Hood.
