To Dust
Spotless house.
No mark on any mirror.
No picture left askew.
No cushion un-plumped.
Chintz-perfect
smiling, pinnied, mum;
meals served on time,
no chore ever a chore.
Pink-cheeked-lemon-drop
woman, slim-waisted
pretty dress, tastefully
accessoried with pearls;
this was the dream
sold on the cover of
magazines for girls
born to dust.
