return to 1940ties

how hard it is to step back
into the nineteen forties,
not wishing to insult memories
with cheap replication..
and border on pantomime
gesture of fancy dress...
I look for authentic apparel
which is uncomfortably
small surprising, almost chinese
in sizing, which if I had
lived off forties magic, a dab
of gravy powder,and
some cabbage would
for sure have decreased
the body of my being
to nineteen forties chiqe..
Avant guarde..my creme
de la creme is being what
I am, C'est la vie:..I shall
be me I am the best at
that by far..
which makes me think...
how many 'fancy' dresses
we apply in this life..?
hiding beneath the radar.
