A blurry view of the life of Diane Arbus
Identical twins in matching black velvet pinafores
Stare at the camera, in double resignation
Black women, office workers of the 1950’s,
Faces knotted in disapproval
Latino boys smoke cigarettes
Furtively
Elderly king and queen,
Bearing shiny scepters and cheap ermine
Gaze glumly
Man with curlers and painted nails
Blows smoke into the camera
Fair infant sleeps with eyes closed
As if in death
