Her job

Sunday, May 24, 2009

was to stand, creaseless and unspoiled, in the blazing sun. To make us guess her face. To suggest balance in asymmetry and poise regardless of heat. To hear the merry cranking go-round go-round go-round around repetitions of a near-identical song.

I could not be her.

I do not have poise.

I am impatient.

I want.

That is a very large hat. I think I like it.

Do you remember those grand hats of Barbra Streisand in Hello Dolly? This photo brought that movie to my mind right away. I wonder what it would feel like to wear such a hat. I wouldn't have the poise to wear it well. Knowing me, it would look floppy instead of graceful :)

I love this! I could totally have pictured it even without the photo!

Q said...

I want, too. I want that hat.

Heck yes, me too! And first I want a hamburger. You see the size of her waist?

The genius of a hat that large is that it would make my nose look small(er).

As for you being without poise, I don't believe a word of it.
