Ninth Grade Education



It was in ninth grade 
That I got schooled 
In that mystery 
Of unhooking bra straps.

Maybe they’ve gotten easier
Over time.

But back then
It was as complicated
As breaking into Fort Knox.

I had unhooked a few before
But I was a nervous fumbler
Struggling to play it cool.

It was anything but.

It wasn’t until
I befriended these
Two Catholic School girls
That were patient
And adoring
Letting me take my time
To discover
The mystery 
Of these locks.

It was my first time
That I was with two girls 
At once
Also.

They were like best friends.

It was the first time 
That I learned about bisexuality.

They weren’t the most attractive girls in my book.

But, hey,
It was a free education
And I’m better for it.
