MANNERISM
It was like that at nine o'clock -
the pointillists were out - rive gauche
and Georges Seurat. Having to do, perhaps,
with the French Navy, my impression of the
Impressionists was that they should be impressed.
I went looking for bathing suit beauties and
industrial chimneys. I bought a flower from
the flower girl - she said her name was
Marna, and that it rhymed with Hedgewick.
I said I didn't understand. And then she said,
'Language is always a barrier,' putting
a red rose behind her ear.
