A la mode

A la mode

Colourful skirts
taken up by the armful
into Bay Day dressing rooms.

Summer sandal flats
pinching round the toes
at the end of bare summer legs.

The sizes vary
along with the hemlines,
the girls a parade of difference.

Cotton peasants,
rayon with slits,
upside-down, tulipy shapes.

Svelte picnic blonds
with freckled noses
emerge in soft leaf greens.

Brunettes & redheads,
peach, plum, mango,
in mirror-time randomly smile.
