Scopophilia
Juliette Jeffers (Pitzer '22)

Tell me your dreams. I’m hardly ever bored by
Nineteen fifties perversions. Rocky river
beds and Hudson eerily caress my hair.
Velvety insects
 
clamor for my attention. What do you want
To hear from the screaming rare blonde all alone?
Shower curtain burning wet, high-neck sweater,
pearlescent torture.
 
Sweetly twist your analysis. These vengeful
facets, youth that fascinates you while driving.
Your girl friday conniving in a nightgown,
anxious halo.
 
The best advice you ever gave me: live like
Jimmy Stewart and Grace Kelly.
While they fight in proxy wars, just love what is
consistent and strange.
