Uniform Skirts

In my Ethnic Studies Theories class we had a poetry exercise about our adolescence- this is what I wrote.  I realized that I posted it on myspace but not on friendster. So here it is.

Uniform Skirts

Itchy uniform skirt worn long
  to hide
Knees cushioned by that skirt
  after lunch throwing up in toilets
Those same knees pulled apart
  skirt lifted
  clumsy cock forcing its way deep inside
Blood disappears on plaid wool skirts
  like it never happened
When the bleeding finally stops
  the skirt hides that too
Bulging bellies full of life
  disappear within the pleats
The skirt is lifted once more
  by doctors cradeling a bucket
  slowly filling with blood
Blood that disappears on plaid wool skirts
  like it never happened
