Red on White
for Mike Singleton Mikeydred's Unofficial Up Elevator Challenge
There's a secret
every girl discovers
between baby dolls
and the little black dress.
No one warns her
how much will spill,
how it will find her
in white,
in gym class,
while she's talking
to the boy
with green eyes.
Someone points.
Others laugh.
One cruelty
of becoming.
