miss petherick
miss ******
miss dawson who forced the showers
spit & dribble
latin & greek
sisters
i remember all of them not with fondness
not with happy days
she wore a tie you know
het blouse were white & sternly sharp
terrified we went in after games to run
naked whether warm or cold
some had flat stomachs
better quality knickers
dawson had a diary to check when
we said excused it was our time
so we could keep them on
if we cheated she poked our skinny arms sharp
&
we were scared & ran through by the wall hoping
the water would miss
us
she disapproved of me
i feel
i disapproved of her
i remember cold days
divided skirts
ice on the field
the line between genders
dawson brought fear
she wore a tie you know
navy blue
i failed in games in greek & latin
was interested in art & liked bunsen burners & wooden stools
****** dawson wore a tie you know
miss jackson had a pony tail
i bet ****** dawson hated that
