Analysis of Things Align
Prom dress rustling,
Bra too tight?
She races dressing.
Special night!
She holds the bathroom captive!
She and Mom and sister too.
Are her eyelids perfect blue?
Will they match my gown?,
High falsetto.
Dad...He mimics me
Hush. child ...Just stand still
He''s so gross, Mom
He''s just a boy
I''m your brother too!
Dad, Make him stop
Sweetheart, Your date is here!
My curl won''t hold
I scraped my shoe
Spit and rub it?
Nothing more?
Nothing
See you''re perfect
