Note: We never got along. Seriously, if someone put the two of us in a room together, we would destroy each other's flesh.

sorority girl

oh how cute you are
you little sorority girl
you bat mascara-coated lashes
toss your chemically straightened hair
& impatiently tap fake nails

grace us with your ignorant opinions
& bestow upon us
your demeaning gaze
as you roll your eyes
while someone less prestigious
speaks the opposing side

your hand slices through the air
& glossy lips part with an
immature sound of disgust
because he is so like wrong
but time is up
& your hissy fit postponed

oh how cute you are
you little sorority girl
as you tuck away your belongings
(all inscribed “theta”)
into an enormous gucci bag
& find your sorority pals
asking them sweetly if they
got as wasted as you did last night
