| In Conversation with Gertrude Stein |
|
What I read into the sentence
is my fantasy:
I’m watching Alice B. Toklas
serve Eiskaffee for tea. |
|
She holds the tray
for Gertrude Stein,
Fernande Olivier,
and last, for me. |
|
Fernande’s titters
as she glances at my ankles
close together make me wonder
who she is. |
|
Gertrude Stein intercepts
the thought, explains
how Fernande is close
to Picasso and moves on
to talk of cars. Fords. |
