that dress both years i went to prom you made me my dress the first, pink and mauve i looked like a parade float, i think the next year, something a bit more dramatic i wanted black with a touch of ivory, you convinced me to have ivory with a touch of black you made a dress with a fitted jacket i could take the jacket off wear a pair of long dress gloves you know, you never liked having your picture taken mom but i’ll always keep the photo taken just before my prom night of the two of us i’m leaning my head on your shoulder i loved that dress U.S. Government Copyright Chicago Poet Janet Kuypers on all art and all writings on this site completed before 6/6/04.
