| LA | NY A Special Edition of The East Village Pattie McCarthy (h)rs for Paris use coffee against another crenellated headache; skulking against that encumbering annunciated yellow till there's no corner left. looking more bemused than terrified or honored at the prospect : through & over the whole set another theme "goes" but is not played. if it exists, it has never been established. perhaps all would have been well had she stuck to bric-a-brac; turned her talents to knick-knacks. a theory of drapery -- seeing things to scale. we like to think of marble as variable. ropes of sand & sea-slime -- (leading nowhere) unfledged minions flaunting it. didn't I bring precious gifts ? despite reason, despite your education in this wise -- aren't you pained to see the gallery stripped bare ? three words, it was said, would suffice & she delivered herself of six hundred. a fragment dispersed. you, trees, a lamppost, a bridge, the river -- so many delightful right angles in view. plaques on beautiful houses cuing : nothing happy happened here. in the kay v. key debate, I keep my mouth shut. like with bourgeoisie -- it's better avoided.
