The Museum of Attraction

.Riding in her
big truck
Pahn and Djuturna
without a word
because sometimes
they don’t know what
to say they
come to a building

stop                                                              
enter a large
room with exhibits

Djuturna walks
quietly                                      
to the information desk
                                                        by herself
and Pahn walks straight
to the art

Statues                                                          

The first                            
                         in white picnicking
sitting
  reading
       the paper

Then an ensemble             
           19th century
         gathering
                           well dressed in hats
           and bustles

To the left                          
figures
                             more fluid lavender
gauzy 
                               fabrics over nude cast
dancers

As the sculptures end                                




high on a wall                                               
                                                                 (out of reach)
A large                                 
black                                     
and white drawing         

of a couple           

joined

along a perfect
               seam
recurring legs making
a tight                         
uninterrupted
line             
                from ankles
to mons—

their torsos far

apart
