Star crossed mad love story

Fri 9/23

I went to a Diane Arbus show today.  My fav foto of hers isn’t considered one of her classics. I bet there are ten reasons why I love it. 

1. The moody setting - a sketchy area, maybe a port town, maybe Marseille. 
2. The print is as fuzzy as the story and the two past their prime characters. 
3. She is small, unkempt hair, a little top that makes her look like she’s still trying some. She still has her waist and her pocketbook and her hand on his arm. 
4. All her attention is focused on him.  She is angry and she’s been here done this a million times. 
5. He looks far away with a “fuck, not this again” look. 
6. He has a cigarette on the ready in case he needs to do something other than address her distress. 
7. He wears a shiny shirt that makes me wonder what color it is.  It’s not bad, in between casual and dressed some.  He's a party boy.
8.  He’s got good hair, it’s cut well, he’s vain about it. 
9.  They will amp up and then calm down and then eat and listen to music. Again.
10.  They will be together for a long while because he needs her much more than she needs him.
