"The actual tragedies of life bear no relation to one's preconceived ideas. In the event, one is always bewildered by their simplicity, their grandeur of design, and by that element of the bizarre which seems inherent in them."

JEAN COCTEAU

'Never Touching the Ground'

You're looking at me
. While talking to him
. . And thinking of somebody else.

You will marry him
. (And flirt with me?)
. . Your feet never touching the ground.
