The purpose
Of going out to places
Is to make you think.
To find yourself hours later
Recalling the French woman with the pompadour hairstyle and spotted dress
Expressing resistance in the only way she could
The queen of Romania in her about to be commandeered castle
The portrait of Eva Braun looking the spit of Lee Miller
The ghastly beauty of her father’s stereoscopic nudes.
Thinking.
Because you can.
Before you can’t.
