GEMMA MEHARCHAND
Didn’t want to kiss strangers
Just because they came to the same party
Did not sniff glue or gasoline
Did not drink or smoke
So when she found herself in love with one person
After another she felt intrigued by her hormones
And slipped away from sainthood
Into the dark night of sex
Which proved to be friendly
But eventually she gave it all up
Lived quietly ever after
As she had when she was fifteen.
