Socialization #23: Family Art Museum Visit Another pietà. A French queen. A Hollywood staple by Annie Leibovitz. A princess in velvet adorned on a chaise. A widow weeping. A glamorous starlet. Another queen. In the art museum, a mind is an envelope. Each painting falls in. A child is the image’s first communicant. We read the captions to ourselves. When men speak of the unborn angels, I suspect an immaculate flesh bore them privately. Everything private is mistaken for preciousness. A hernia hidden beneath a corset. All beings are bourne by a laboring body. Life is art’s spite. The womb that gets used finds no respite.

Everything private is mistaken for // preciousness.

If I had a nickel for every time Franz Ferdinand was involved in the precursor events of a world war, I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird it happened twice

Photo of wrenthrush. Description from ebird: ‘A strange little understory bird, unmistakable if seen well. Plump and very short-tailed, like a small antpitta or wren. Mostly gray with olive back; most distinctive feature is orange crown. Sexes alike. Found in high-elevation forests from 1500m to treeline, often around bamboo, and always close to the ground. Listen for high, thin calls.’

Henri Matisse 1912 Goldfish Henri Matisse's 1912 oil painting Goldfish depicts bright orange goldfish in a garden conservatory at his home near Paris. The painting creates tension by portraying the goldfish from two perspectives: Up close, the viewer can clearly see the details of the goldfish's eyes, fins, and mouth.
