De rigueur ... Break

Today's word is "de rigueur" ... duh ri-GUR ... strictly required, as by etiquette, usage, or fashion. (Dictionary.com)

Break
It would be de rigueur to pose,
     knowingly, as a whole person;
Sitting, singing hymns, with passion,
     yet feeling a dark longing
          for something real.
Hoping that this time, a cloud
     would fall, full of knowing.
And everything would change,
     forever.
