Homecoming Up Dos

What do you do with an up do?

Afterwards, do you put on pearls?

Do you sit forlorn in an open air car 

all alone on your throne driven

onto the field waving at cold constituents 

who are confused by the sweep of hair 

where before there was a free bird

their favorite girl, untanned natural, 

inviting them to shed the cost, 

all smiles undone.
