Large Glass: The Bride’s Erotic Selfies and the Sum Over Histories

a transparent image

Duchamp called it

an apparition

of an appearance

cracks

in the image

and a reflection:

the viewer

reflected

physics asks

which photons

know

to go

through

glass and which

bounce

back    

fin-

ally

light takes

every

possible

path

and we

(observers)

can only speak

of the aggregate

of all

possible

paths

                       

art, apprehensible

from opposite

sides    

romantic

about the apex

of mind meets

world

but living

too

a corporeal

existence

a black bra

is ordinary

pouty lips

and come hither

so basic

is her mid-life

she wants

to meet

her body

be-

fore

it is reflected

back

to her

in some distant

region of space-

time

pale

belly fat

I could keep

living

if I could just

be someone                    

else

for a change
