The Blue Rinse

for P.W.

Circa ‘50s Wichita.
Your mother,
Gladys,
going for
her blue rinse,
at Bertha’s Beauty Shop,
off Waco.
How well you remember
the color of her hair,
and those days
of your youth.
Before she left
that for lavender;
before you left
for a wild blue yonder
and big life adventures
in New York City.
