One-Time Boy

Livi

I’ve got the dress,

The jewelry,

The shoes (ribbon-tie)!

My hair will be perfect,

My make-up flawless.

I’ve also got a boy.

(A real boy.)

To date I’ve spoken to him

. . . three? times . . .

Something like that.

He’s an exchange student-

I’ll never see him again.

It doesn’t matter.

He’s just another accessory

To match the dress,

The jewelry, the shoes,

The hair, the face.

It’s only one time,

But it’s my prom.

It’s going to be magnificent.
