Overdressed

Blue skies, blue dress
New shoes tight across my toes
Nails freshly painted in Chanel Gitane red
It’s only been minutes, but it feels more like hours since the ceremony began
Strange words are spoken by a man in a green shirt
He invites us to raise our glasses, however what we are toasting to I’m not so sure
The small patch of sunburn on my right knee starts to itch
My glass is suddenly empty as strange words turn sour
I realise once again I am overdressed, and in the wrong place
