DOLORES TALKS TO MISS HANSON
Sesion 1

Phyllis Berman

It's a nasty
trick that someone
dreamed up to trap
girls my age.
How stupid
I was! I never even
knew enough
to be afraid

Why would God
make us this way?
Is it a plot to populate
the world, to use us
for this purpose?
Why would something
like this
bring so much grief

and why doesn't someone
come right out and tell us?
Who could I ask?
My mother with her nose
in True Love Magazine?
Brandon
with his sweet talk?

I know it was a terrible
thing I did.
I can't remember
much
and when I do
I start to cry again
until I forget
why I'm crying.
