Vintage is a number
arbitrariness
of those who think
they define contemporary
Vintage is what lends value
to a historian or
archaeologist’s work
or a fashionista
running out of ideas
Vintage is digging into
closets or attics
when there’s time to spare
and you can return to life
without a hint of care
for what you posted on
handles for likes
Vintage is an era
smiling at visitors
from the future
watching them with glee
spinning on time machines
free-wheeling, connecting
without knowing
what they’re doing
Vintage is value
for what you were
but no regard for
what you are
AND

How true! Well done.

Vintage sounds so much more refined and elegant than old, doesn’t it?
From now on I’m going to insist doctors ask me what vintage I am.

Wow, two for the price of one, Reena! I love this one too! Being vintage myself, and still wearing clothes from over twenty years ago, your poem speaks to me.

Yes, that’s a value-adding perspective. We glorify something we wish was true.
