(an urge to put things in parentheses)

i was just remembering arguing with a docent at musée marmottan about whether or not a monet was hung upside down. it was a funny conversation. he was affable and expressed himself well. he brushed off my suggestion and tried to explain how it really wasn't upside down, but i imagine him going back later and looking at it and turning his head sideways and not being so sure. i wonder what a physicist would say, if they would measure the angles and say that due to gravity the vines must have been hanging one way or another. maybe something with optics, how it must be or not be a reflection in some water.

a little over a year later my sister took me to jamba juice. maybe that's a story for another time. i can only hold so much at once.
