The sun had just set
when I spotted this skateboarder.
Somehow, he looked familiar.
It was his posture,
with an undercurrent of defiance,
that mesmerized me.

at the opposite corner of the temple,
only moments before?

"The Winner"
1922 Bronze sculpture by Josef Müllner
Ancestral memory
preserved in the unconscious?
Dr. Jung!
?
What a defiant fellow that skateboarder is!
ReplyDeleteJust come over from Simons. Isn't that snake wonderful!
Could be that it was an actor, and his posture was deliberate. There was a film crew there, maybe from a film school here.
ReplyDeleteOh yes, the snake, very sweet, as I said, reminds me of myself before the first cup of tea in the morning. ;-)
excellent constructions
ReplyDeleteBrilliant Merisi!!
ReplyDeleteThank you both, Evlahos and Bridget!
ReplyDeleteIt took me until now to realize that "The Winner" actually's standing on a skateboard too! :-))) Give him a hooded sweater, and he skates right into this century!
Huhu,Merisi,I hope you don't want to do the contrary!!!
ReplyDeleteSorry, I made a mistake,not the "contrary"(faulse-friend for french) but the "opposite"!
ReplyDeleteI'll definitively side with Dr. Jung. excellent study in timelessness. A true classic , my dear!
