Poem #6 for the November Poem-A-Day challenge.
Looking for the right pair of jeans
jeans that will make me look good without
actually having to lose the weight
the jeans I wore that night you came into the club
with the unsavory character who played in the band
jeans that will make young women turn
and look again, rather than look away
the jeans I had before I wore the same size
my dad wears, 20 years before he needed them
I went shopping at Macy’s with my mom and
a woman from Montreal
a long line of other men waiting while I came out
of the dressing room in one pair after another
looking in the mirror and waiting
for the magic to happen
Only a very secure man would have allowed that day to happen in the first place! It sure was a lot of fun, thanks to your sense of humor and Hélène’s sense of style. You were a VERY good sport, and she was, well, Hélène. Love you both. ♥
