 GIRLS IN SHOES by Ada RuChi

High heels!
Pumps!
High heeled boots!
Wedges!
Box heels!
Students catwalk in shoes
Taking time to control each step
Lingering smiles as they move
Lips shining like traffigators
Eyebrows painted like charcoal stains on pot backs
Their faces so shiny they look like sprayed wood
Students without books
Bags too small, too meaningless
Big bags full of cosmetics
Their fake accents ringing
Guys smiling as they pass
Lecturers frowning as they pass
Other girls hissing in fake disgust
Women mocking and pointing
Students above lectures and lecturers
Students too big to walk to classes
Students who do not know "rain and sun"
Students who despise REAL students
Students of various colours
Students of varying shades
Students on fashion parade
Where are the sandals and slippers?
Where are the boots and simple flat shoes?
Their legs tell who they are
STUDENTS or Students
Girls in shoes!
