Dressed Up the Same
by Maureen Glaudein our identical blue paper costumes
the morning after Halloween
four of us seated in the waiting room
bosom sisters whove never met
chatting and laughing over
which of us have our gowns
on backwards, two opening at the back
two at the front
one lady wondering why she wasnt told
to stretch her belt, to make it fit
waiting for our mammograms
likely each woman wondering
underneath the smiles
if shell be laughing
when the results come in 11/01/2004 Author's Note: It's a working title, so far, for this draft.
