The Numbers Game

                                                                                            Figure Eight, 1952, by Franz Kline
She will dance and be caught in motion instructed 
Franz's skeleton strokes painted to illustrate 


I will find a language so sophisticated  
And have letters made of painting like Chinese 


And numbers would be representative of figures 
What size are you to be my dear as object subject 


Models on cat walk with controversy 
But surely eight would stand as fair for decency  


Adelaide Damoah with brash strokes paints indifference 
Vivid in portraying w' image commentary what society ignores 


As strokes of each step taken on walk ways stand 
To measure elegance in fashion push for count down 


And eight becomes six, four, zero, skeleton letters 
Like faceless figures of Chinese writing on cat walk

  5. Your comparison of the figure eight, signifying beauty to the skin and bones models of today, is brilliant and so telling. I also liked your reference to calligraphy. Wonderfully expressed, thank you for sharing, Kodjo. =D

  7. I like this thing you call the numbers game...great photo too....there is so much beauty deep to the skin and bones! I was going to go the eight route too, but the photo spoke to me in other ways!
