May 2013
Today, no yesterday
you purchased a raincoat
to drench you in grey,
way too expensive
but worth it, about right
if you hand over enough.
They will see you ride,
maiden on a bike
through the torrent in your new
good-on-the-eyes garment,
with just the slightest hint
of merry pink lining.

Explanation: Another possible inclusion into my third year university dissertation regarding Plath and Hughes. On 12th May 1953, SP bought a grey raincoat with a 'frivolous pink lining' because she had never had anything 'pink-coloured.' The short passage where she says this can be found in her collected journals. Also uploaded as a Facebook status.
