clean yes
but not looking my best
after a shower
I need a petal dryer
the sun
some primping by the wind
my face needs lifting
to hold proud and high
for the public reveal
I must bloom my best
you know how critical
passing eyes can be
of the littlest things
a petal out of place
the slight slump of a shoulder
some bug on the stem
they notice is not your friend
