Man Again

placing and spacing
my wooden mannequins
to visualize two though at this

point not sexualized
these are just for the pose
the position of a her and a him

all the joints move
moving to any possabilaties
even stretching it to

create perhaps not 
actual real to life kind
of body bending movements

so i have two one
being me and one being
you (disclaimer it could be

anyone) inject 
or interject your
self to be a figure

but i'm posing
figures for a scene
that would mean you

need to as
the sitting
figure bent all

but almost
past your lower
back so that it seems

as if you've been
struck but to early to
tell by who knows what

in this take
Jackie stay in
your seat and don't

dive back because
your husband's head
went backwards that

makes it 
seem you 
should be

looking
forward
because

he looked 
forward to 
a country

that...
