_The Schoolgirl_

Swollen eyes lazy legs
 In pinafores and ponytails Creeping into the vehicle Reluctant
hesitant Whimpering howling huddling Sorrow-stricken faces An echo of tiny voices
in crescendo Silenced set in order Satchels strung together like faces at a window
Tossed hither, thither wind brushing the faces smiles appearing disappearing little
eyes everywhere songs, merriment candy in bottles mangoes in brine toys and balloons
nodding and smiling a jolt and a stop At the school gate led inside the four walls
gates closed at the outer world to be disciplined groomed churned until the world
opens wide-armed to receive its young.
