Weak chin, strong nose.
Strong chin, weak nose.
Strong chin, strong nose.
Belly before and after.
Lips before and after.
Breasts before and after.
We go to school, and the prom. We get taller and an apartment or busy or more. There is a lot of buying involved. There is a lot of eating. What would Calvin say?
She’s looking forward and casts a shadow and it is all flat.
There is fading, but further fading halted by contemporary translation. We will find something has been lost. We will keep translating. We will find something that defies gravity. It is beautiful and it is captured and it is also flat.
She’ll wrap the memory in caul fat and fry it.
xoxo
