Life is Pee-Chee

by Artur Desruisseaux

I know this is so 9th grade but...

The Pee-Chee folder!

Everyone's hand was in a pile of shit, swarming with flies.

And if you didn't have an afro and platform boots,

well you got them now!

I know, thank me later.

That guy under the basketball hoop always had something shoved up his ass

and that cheerleader girl was hanging from a noose.

Her boyfriend "Billy" dumped her on prom night,

and there was a suicide note, crumbled in a tiny ball at her feet.

There may have been some more "man on man" action with the football players...

I think it really resembled life at my school.

I didn't mind the chick with the skis on a lift going nowhere.

Maybe she was smoking a cigarette listening "skinny puppy" on her Walkman

I just don't know.

I'm pretty sure one of those guys running was smoking a bong or a cock or both,

it was his lucky day for sure.

One thing for sure,

I didn't have any friends in H. S. and I always had detention.

It was always for something dumb too!

Kids get away with murder now.

And the last thing was,

"Kissing is Pee-Chee,

but fucking is an all season sport."

You had to write that in.

I never kissed anyone or fucked anyone in H.S.

but I acted like I did.

oh so entertaining... reminiscent of Fante. If you wrote a novel like this, I'd read it.
