I have just written this poem about school proms. Are proms about perfection these days?
School Prom
From tatty papers pinned to cork boards
Above their antisceptic floors,
Holiday rest time approaches with
One more wipe before multitude foot prints
Of polished high heel shoes scratching over.
As tatty papers flap in corridors
Announcing this year's school prom
As it was in previous days, now CD Roms
Awaken, bugle like, pupils from their doms
Of leafy suburb or grey concrete box dream.
Across roundabouts bubble gum pink limos stretch
Followed by Humvees with tyres higher than
Groups of young girls giggling within
Surrounding a cooled black man in darkened shades,
No lone figure, thinks the driver in front.
Silver finger exhaust pipes feel their way
To stretch and cool air from engine to exit.
Crinolene dresses hover across herring bone floors,
With flowers and other fine details got just right,
Down to patterned fingernails in absolute perfection.
Not 50p to pay and free bags of chips
Or a beefburger like shoe tongue folded in bap;
Today's perfections in their never never land
Of last days of term, one final meet,
Merge into long summer's laze, awaiting post school days.
