smells Art Deco, Paris in nineteen twenty five. |
|
|
seeps Transatlantic Cunard, sleek bows, funnels, smoke. |
|
|
touches Bakelite beakers, sniffs Bugatti cars. |
|
|
drifts Charleston flappers, flat-fringed bobs framing khol eyes. |
|
|
smiles when I ask questions which photos will answer. |
|
|
slippery gauze of summer, thirties Depression. |
|
|
falls apart, breaks my heart. Mouse droppings, decay, worm. |
