Her Colors – v2


Utter incongruity
an image disjointed
something not right
jarred my drive
to the coffeehouse

My eye pulled, drawn
to the cluster of prom dresses,
dapper Dan’s, newly purchased
bright colored and freshly polished
at the end of the driveway
before the prom, primped and coiffed
photos by their parents

But something was amiss, out of place
A crimson prom dress
under the black leather gang jacket
Her colors, jarring under
her new prom tresses
