School Girls

the school girls race around.
red ribbons flying. 
catching on corners. 
and lost dreams. 

they take pictures. 
and laugh. 
smiling, posing.
distorting their faces to perfection. 

they gossip. 
chatting about who likes who.
who said what. 
silently building armies. 

they look. 
flipping their hair. 
turning this way and that to get the best view. 
not really seeing at all.
