Munchkins in Braids: A
High School Perspective
Munchkins in braids, also Kotex,
Fight over comic books, boys, nail
lacquer,
Complain that squared cereal, garbage
duty,
Bus fare
prices rot, spin their fair heads.
Usually,
while asking for money, such girls,
Forego
studies of ancient ossuaries,
Compete for
places in track and field,
Get crowned
Homecoming Queen.
After all, adolescent excrescences, those
emotional
Outgrowths
of peer pressure, iffy grades, acne,
Coruscate alongside lockers, by cafeteria
trays,
As well as in the midst of biology labs.
Kamuros nearly to a one, such frenetic
sorts,
Who skite on
algebra, succeed, nonetheless, in acquiring
Sports
heroes, student body presidents, transfer students;
All become
their minions. Some gals’ métier is popularity.
