The Dress That Covered A Multitude of Never Minds


            The Dress That Covered A Multitude of Never Minds
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I wore that dress one time only
In my single-with-children days.
That dress was Me,
Reminiscent of a 1920’s Flapper,
With yards of fringe which covered
A multitude of . . . Never mind.
That red dress danced me
Around the ballroom,
Fringe in motion, exultant.

I dumped that dress,
Along with other gifts,
On that man’s doorstep.
Each item was marked
With a subtle price tag,
Hidden in his agenda.
