RETROSPECTIVE

It's 2:55 p.m. and the chairs are pulled from the table
this is where we ate, these are the forks
this is where I stood wearing a unitard and black socks

1988 is alive and well in a photograph
frozen like the Art Deco lady in a Fledermaus dress
you'll find me in a museum, in a traveling show
in my Malibu home after exercising

So cruel of you to remind me
you never opened the mail
you thought you were so clever
the historical significance of the open book
the photograph inside the photograph
here I stand in my most gothic look
carefully done up by the meticulous knife
of years spent writing a story
that Miss Havisham perfected long ago

1988 is alive and well in a photograph
frozen like the Art Deco lady in a Fledermaus dress
you'll find me in a museum, in a traveling show
in my Malibu home after exercising

There is a luminous body moving in a dark cave
tell me that ghost story again
sink your teeth into my arm, you can draw blood
we can say it was real
and later you can sell it to a collector for his second wife
I almost missed the retrospective
at the entrance of the museum the sky was dark with birds.
Thank you for saving me a spot in the mausoleum.
Thank you for including me in the show.

1988 is alive and well in a photograph,
frozen like the Art Deco lady in a Fledermaus dress
you'll find me in a museum, in a traveling show
in my Malibu home after exercising

She takes this very seriously, as she takes the band very seriously and of course the poem, that is Gertrude Stein very seriously. ... more
