in a high maintenance context
the low maintenance option is
always the most work
when did it get like this
I want to participate
of course I want to shop
for dresses but
I almost cry when someone
writes my name
on an erasable magnet
in fake cursive
for the dressing room
a bride with a bun
and glasses is spinning around
quietly for her unimpressed
mom?
I said I probably wouldn't wear it again
she said no prob
you can just have it hemmed
throw on a floppy hat
some gladiator sandals
boom it's a sundress
I find myself putting
my hand on the grill
of her imaginary picnic
