She Had the Cleft of Kirk Douglas
She had the cleft of Kirk Douglas.
It was decidedly brilliant on her.
It fit her mind and her attitude.
I watched it talk along with her mouth.
Where had she gotten such a cleft?
It is rare to see these days.
It was more fashionable in the forties.
I wondered about it for days.
I never saw her again.
But one time was more than enough.
When my own child was born with a cleft
I knew she was brilliant and special.
