Matchbox Blues

____________________________________________________________________________________

Portrait & Pet...


On
a
catwalk.
The
pet
can't poop
&
she
can't talk.

(2014)





The page title is also the soundtrack  but it is neither The Beatles' cover version
nor the alleged original by Carl Perkins.

It is Blind Lemon Jefferson's 1927 composition, Matchbox Blues.

      That name would suit the little match girl

      But the little match girl has only two dimensions...
      maybe we can call her "Ms. Moiety"

    But it does end with a smile on the face of the matchbox girl...

    Sometimes you cannot see the smile.

    Sometimes, it is better to just feel the smile
    rather than see it.

    Both is good, if we could both
    See and feel, if ears could see
    Smiles across the ears miles

    If ears could see...what eyes can hear...
    our senses would make more sense.

    It is easier to fool the ear than the eye
