Some folks like to dress
others down for a night
on the town to be seen
or to mingle in the pile
to start a scene walk
the prowl talk the chat
say a prayer to the folks
at the top of the stares
go-go with the up-flow
the effluvium of the
affluent dressed
in advertisements
ads in fashion zines
Fellinists puttin’ on
the style the smile
all the while they
used to say it was
a young folks way
but we can put on
the style any while
doll it up or doll
it down the grin
showing couth
or clown frown.
