M'z D's
In M'z D's gym class
at James lick Jr. High
Jerry Flurry was long and tall
wore her hair
in a blond pump-up pompadour
and carried a switchblade knife
her body covered with names of boys
etched into her arms and thighs
like an ancient war goddess
with a bow and arrow
and one breast
her back swayed
her legs tan
in silver high-top tennis shoes
strutting her stuff
in her dark blue uniform
the teachers moved aside
