girl crazy in the ninth grade

when we
were in school, my friend and I
would often
drop
a pencil or an eraser
or book
on the floor
and bend over in our
desks
to pick up the fallen objects,
but looking
back
at the same time to get
a peek up
the girl's dresses
behind us.
we'd talk later in the hall
and commiserate
our findings
about what Mary Beth,
Jill and Sally were
wearing
that morning.
yellow, white, blue or rose.
