I dress up
for one of life's
formal
receptions
clip on my head
one fall of false
fake hair
tame my unruly
tresses with
the spiked hairpin
of forbearance
let fall my
padeikthantara
fringe or bangs
add on two
boastful
bling bling
ear rings
then - for defense
cover myself with
my stole --
There -
I'm all dressed up
to go.
