Coming up for Air
resurfacing from
immersion in
the gene pool
of in laws
great grandma was deaf
and tiny
great grandpa was deaf
and albino
an arranged and
unhappy marriage
that produced
three beautiful redheads
who knew how to sign
the surviving matriarchs
ninety and ninety two
still disagree
about everything
except their
difficult childhood
in the tenements
of the lower east side,
the benefit of vitamins
and line dancing
Photo note: This is the swimming pool in the hotel where many of the out of town wedding guests stayed. You would think I would have had the good sense to shoot the matriarchs, rather than the pool, but I didn't - though they are captured, in conflict, on video for posterity
