Catholic School Girls

Born with a silver spoon
later used to freebase heroin
Boredom and cynicism catalyze the
rec-room adventures in little plaid skirts
and mary jane (shoes).
Volleyball practice is eased by meth
and you don't mind doing it
when you can blame it on GHB.
White-lace trimmed socks
white, minimally buttoned blouse
white lacey bra
stares at the white face of a teacher
who can't stop staring
or blushing the colour of their
Pink Mini Coopers
with roxy decals
that take them away
to glittery raves
and beach-house parties
Older men buy them fruity drinks
that sting with more
than citric acid.
They put the little umbrellas behind their ears
giggle, and sensually, purposely flick their tongues
across the full lips
sweetened with vanilla-flavoured gloss.
They are in full comprehension of the power
of their developing sexuality.
They escape from realities that are not harsh
with (cherry) coke-laced laughs and
brain cells that pop like bubble gum.
