Kurt Ravidas Poet Rhyme

Tee-Shirt, Old Jeans

The question, urgent and acute, that fashion
asks every woman daily: what does she
prefer? A Ricci’s chic, a chilly passion
of Ungaro, an ease of Givenchy?

What’s better? A dramatically black look
or, say, an all-white? A silk cape with strappy 
heels or a floral-printed dress like Brook
Shields in “Allure”? The one that makes her happy.

So what if… Her glance falls upon the photo
of her grandchildren on the wall. Her heart 
melts. She puts on a free tee-shirt from Moto,
old jeans and, happiest, goes to Walmart.

Gershon Wolf November 17, 2019 at 1:43 PM Ha! And I'll bet that at Walmart she buys some already-ripped fashion jeans to replace her old jeans, eh?! Cheers, Gershon Kurt Ravidas November 17, 2019 at 3:16 PM You're a nasty skeptic, Wolf. She goes to the toy section!
