FALL/ WINTER 2008

Annabelle Caufman Soudavar
HUMBLED YOUTH

let's be violin playing aristocrats
fly to the Bavarian Alps,
be stunning and anonymous.
dangle from the chandelier
and bloom wildly.

let's get gussied up and
crack the stale reputation of
riffs in gossip magazines.

cajole me and I'll give you
the mink coat off my back,
as we drink to nothing
but our stupidity echoing off the marble floor.

we can be cheeky but demure,
and feverishly important
as we stare at the Kandinsky
that hangs above Manzoni's "Artist's Shit",
sitting on the Charles X bureau
in the tiny mansion we call home.
