JOAN V 75*
Forever shalt thou love, and she be fair! -- Ode on a Grecian Urn, John Keats
The chic expression on her face conceals
The preparation, work and work, and pain
And panic, work and work, the skimpy meals,
The special training -- life in the fast lane.
The special fabric slides across her legs
As she slinks down the runway past the crowd.
Her New York fashion model movement begs
Stares from the awed admirers. She is proud.
She looks upon Joan V as she makes the
Entrance. The chic runway expression morphs
Into a genuine broad smile of glee.
All Past performances, this moment dwarfs --
The piece de resistance of Motivation,
The ancient creator and the chic creation.
* Spring 96 (see 36 & 46 also)
