Mr. Powers

"I saw that individual for a moment or two in your office yesterday, but one cursory glance at his face was enough to convince me that he was a scheming, quarrelsome, sycophantic swine."

The French trade show Rendez-vous will have its NY debut during Fashion Week from February 20-23 and I am proud taking part. Rendez-vous is spearheaded by members of the design team Surface to Air, whom I have a great deal of respect for. Needless to say I am eagerly looking forward to it.

POEM

Instant coffee with slightly sour cream
in it, and a phone call to the beyond
which doesn't seem to be coming any nearer.
"Ah daddy, I wanna stay drunk many days"
on the poetry of a new friend
my life held precariously in the seeing
hands of others, their and my possibilities.
Is this love, now that the first love
has finally died, where there were no possibilities?

1956

Title cover of The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll & Mr. Hyde. First Edition (1886)

How did this short novella become one of the most enduring stories in modern Western Literature. Perhaps people can relate in some way to the Dr.'s dual personalities? I know that I can.
