The
 Locker
 Room

Why
 did
 they

put
 us
 all
 in
 there

every
 day.

They
 say

for
 us
 to
 have
 privacy

but
 there’s
 nothing

farther
 from

the
 truth.

They
 laugh

and
 talk
 about

how
 skinny
 arms
 are

and
 wide
 my
 waist
 is.

I
 can
 only
 pretend

to
 not
 hear
 them
 for
 so
 long.
