JUSTINE TENNANT ZEITGEIST
I hung my tea towel on the washing line
Blue and white check (with a small label) one peg
A knock on the door
A man; flushed, panting, said he'd seen my towel
Flapping from afar and wanted to give me
Twenty five million pounds!
He said it was "The best example of a;
Contemporary, abstract, conceptual
post modern, minimalist, piece of work"
He'd seen in a long time. He said that;
"It typified woman's struggle through the ages"
and it made him cry.
I was stunned, of course and said;
"Don't you realise
if you take it out of its environment
it ceases to have any meaning!?"
Shaking my head incredulously
I closed the door.
