Private Life

Brightly lit hallways
and dimly lighted underbellies
Pretty outsides
and ugly insides
Shirts
and ties
Dress shoes
and grey socks
White boards
and forgotten blackboards
Paper crumpled
and pens scribbling
Flashy computers
and the porn in them
Boys
and more boys
Botox’d mothers
and suited fathers
Cool teachers
and evil bitches and bastards
Testosterone
and a lack of estrogen
Lies spread
and whispers heard
Fights galore
and bloody noses to match
Clenched fists
and concealed feelings
Silent hatred
and outcries of stress
Sweat
and studies
Pencils giving out
and emotions giving in

Kilts
and dress pants
When they meet
Disaster strikes.
