With My Red Dress On

A radiantly coiffed bouffant was mine,
    fit perfectly and curved to the nines.
I stood taking in the awe of counterparts 
   let them eat cake I chuckled in my heart.
The spring roll rumbling in my center
   drifted to the lower parts no longer indentured.
I held my breath and prayed
   that no sound or scent would stray
I wanted to drop to my knees
  Oh God, please, don’t let me sneeze.
