with more air than words

yamamanamaThe woman in the blue and white and black sweater with a green pendant was nice but the train was exceptionally wobbly and exceptionally loud and somehow she spent most of the journey half-asleep so I wasn’t able to engage in any sort of conversation.
People had tattoos of sprouting bird wings, of a scorpion and a sun with twisting wavy rays, of a cicada and a hummingbird, of the Eye of Horus. A woman had epipelagic blue hair.
Someone remarked that a sculpted woman looked like she was taking a selfie with her baby.
When I was in 4th or maybe 5th grade, my art went through an M.C. Escher phase.
Other World is in the movie version of Girl, Interrupted and absolutely no mention is made of this anywhere.
Somehow the Beethoven frieze survived Nazism.
Egon Schiele spent time in prison for obscenity. What happened is they wanted to arrest him for abducting a minor but didn’t really have a case and then found a bunch of nude drawings and arrested him for that instead. He succumbed to the flu epidemic in 1918, at the age of 28.
Someone else at the exhibit really likes his signature.
The artist here is an immigrant from Argentina.
She had another work that was a bunch of suitcases with messages about immigrants and against Trumpism. Actually, she had at least two of them, one near the green icicle tower and one beneath the giant paper cup snake skin.
There is a collection of Japanese psychedelic woodblock prints from the 1970s. That’s not me.
I really love the way he portrays motion with realistic umbrellas and bicycle wheels but the people riding them are vague streaks of black.
There’s a print from 1930s Japan and the description of it said that Japan was becoming increasingly cosmopolitan but at the same time, increasingly nationalistic. Some things change, some things stay the same. I heard a conversation in a language I thought was Somali, or at least something Afro-Asiatic, but then again, I thought that people speaking Turkish were speaking German once and once I saw a video of Iranian protests and thought they were dubbed over in French, so maybe they could be speaking Sara or Fulbe. I know that headscarf styles vary by country but not much else.
I don’t know if the MFA obtained some new Chihuly works or if people have been posting older pictures on Instagram. I don’t know what to think, considering that Google has their own army of langoliers to eat away the internet of past.
Regan said “like The Exorcist.” and she thinks of the pea soup spewing. I thought of King Lear and also the head twisting around. She had a pizza that she couldn't show me because they put stickers on the box to keep it from opening at inconvenient times and I asked if they had feta and she says she never noticed and it's funny I asked because she doesn't eat cheese.
You know, I’ve never met a Cordelia either. I do know that Jeff Vogel named his daughter Cordelia and people asked him if it had anything to do with Buffy. She asked if I prefer tragedies or comedies and I said tragedies, although I do love A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Regan’s an artist as well so she immediately knew what I was doing and I told her that I like to depict people more naturally, which is why I have so many drawings of people who are asleep or looking at their phones. So she tried to be natural. I started drawing Steven next and she’s like “that’s funny, because we’re together.” and they both got off at South Station. After Andrew, the train was mostly empty and I spent the rest of the journey reading All The Birds In The Sky, which is quite excellent so far.
burning question: who came up with non-chronological feeds?
