Now playing-
It reads
like a rambling haiku
as writ
by lower case alphabet afficiando
e.e. cummings:
rita hayworth shoulder bed
bad taste clothing - fashion
over forty- fashion over
40 blog
love fuzzy heart
this is your life:
man in red plaid
40 year old lifestyle blog
40 year old style blog
blogs for women over 40
This, being the most recent
Keyword Search,
the cha cha line of words + phrases
of how people found me
here on the web.
This blog. My life.
How succinct and telling-
Rita Hayworth,a man, a plaid, and love.
And piled on, my all aged obsession
with being over 40.
Forty, forty. Over
and forty. The litany
forty-forty-forty- it sounds a bit like a train
gearing up for a hill. Over
and forty, forty, forty.
Are we yet
over the hill? I feel
Steely and determined to climb.
This search, so very much me-the keyword assertions so baldly bold
with my gaseous ambitions
tethered to the gravity of real life;
pedestrian panderings
on the Life Quixotic
Now playing the visionary version
a virtual silver screen
starring this girl
cast as a lovable but zany,
madcap spinster, doing her turn
as the Latina Lucille Ball
meets Rita Hayworth meets
Isabella Rosselini
meets
a handsome stranger.
And there you are, man in red plaid.There you are.
