Max is home and Manya
has been to the butcher
and back on time. Max
makes molds for rings,
earrings, necklaces,
bracelets; he carves into platinum
settings for gemstones. On the Steinway
baby grand, there is a photo of Florence,
shortly before her new nose;
she has put a bunch of bananas
on her head, like Carmen Miranda,
and tilts a bottle of milk on her shoulder;
her smile is very flirtatious;
she is doing something with her hips.
