TRES CHIC AND MAGNIFIQUE
I’ve heard the explanations
of what chic’s supposed to be,
c’est magnifique,
tres chic,
merci beaucoup,
and beautiful in every way.
No chips,
no dents,
no scrapes at all,
that’s how chic’s supposed to be.
At least that’s how
it was explained to me.
But I don’t go along with any of that;
that’s not what chic is to me
for chic is my reality,
chips
and dents
and scrapes,
peeled paint
and all.
Wrinkled,
ruffled,
signs of wear
and life
and proudly worn
for all to see,
a testimony
to living life as it should be,
living long and living well
and shared with love,
then gently resting
to live an even longer life
among those who love tres chic
and understand so very well
what chic is really supposed to be.
