Surely,
this was not
what she looked like
when she went out
the night before?
Definitely not
what was reflected back
in the mirror
when she left
her hair dresser's chair?
She walked
to the ball
because no way
it would fit
in her car.
The mirrored
elevator doors
told her she was stunning
not a hair
out of place.
But the dark windows
of the diner
in the predawn
told a different story.
It was a bad hair day.
And all the stares
she garnered
walking home
were not of admiration.
