Twenty dollar sundress
In the second-hand store
Ironically sun-faded in the window by the door
A little pricey if you ask me
Since it’s already seen its heyday, for sure
The clerk says no discount though
even though I made my case
I’m doing it a favor, I say
Another day in the sun on a Sunday
At the ladies’ luncheon, that’s the place
I’ll say grace with one eye open and a smile upon my face
The prompt is “twenty dollar sundress” from Maria Giesbrecht @theguelphpoet on Instagram. April 3, National Poetry Month 2022.
