I’ve tried to trace the reverie
I know is sourceless. Why I love
that shade of blue the veins become
when you press a thumb against my wrist.
Why I take the sighting of the bunting
weighing down the branch of pine
as a sign it’s lost, looking for its mate.—Ira Sadoff, from “Mood Indigo” in The Bread Loaf Anthology of Contemporary American Poetry, edited by Robert Pack, Sydney Lea, and Jay Parini (University Press of New England, 1985)
If you would look at me I would show you something.
The size of it. The size of it, ask any man and it is this big.
I don’t really know what interests you, but by watching
the tick of your wrist by your side I could drum up
a thousand doves assured over Palestine, beaks tweaking
it is…
I actually shed a real-life single tear at this moment. Perfect woman, perfect show, perfect finale.

Garry Winogrand, Central Park Zoo, New York City, 1967
From the Getty Museum:
Garry Winogrand caught this young woman’s graceful gesture and unflinching gaze as he photographed her at a public gathering in Central Park. It looks as if she is performing for the camera, but she may be flying a kite.
Winogrand was fully aware that his own gaze was a male one. He liked to trace the origins of his intense interest in photographing women to his teen years, when he worked briefly as a walk-on actor at the ballet. Later, he often found that a certain amount of flirtation was involved when taking pictures of women. Winogrand produced a book of his photographs of anonymous women, including this image, in 1975. He planned to title the book “Confessions of a Male Chauvinist Pig,” but his publisher changed it to Women are Beautiful.
Despite his joking provocations, Winogrand’s intentions were serious. He said of the women he observed, “I suspect that I respond to their energies, how they stand and move their bodies and faces.”
Ahh! I really hope they delve into the ~drug use~ next season! Just a little bit, please!

aaarrrghhhThe Obama campaign has released a video on how horrible Romney would be for American women. I certainly don’t need convincing - but if I did, this would likely do it.
The only problem I have with this is the trans* erasure, but otherwise frighteningly spot on.
