CHOOSING THE RIGHT ADJECTIVE
TO GO WITH THE RIGHT NOUN

She drifted
through
reality

having become
unmoored
from morality

fleeing from time
fleeing from her self
the insistent totality

of being
who she was
not

a stranger looked out
of her
mirror

a faux French
ingénue...
yeah!

she choose
today's mask
like she choose today's dress

something that hung
on a hanger
clothes were roles

she an actress
forever playing
a part

in the movie
of her life
THE PURSUIT OF PLEASURE

never knowing the next line
making it up as one
went along. . .

She lived her life in a very Françoise Saganish way...curiously detached yet living right in the moment without any scruples  or pretensions...she was very much her own person. A wonder to behold!

Her advice to living was the title of this poem....CHOOSING THE RIGHT ADJECTIVE TO GO WITH THE RIGHT NOUN. And indeed she had un certain sourire.
