CERTAIN DISPLAYS M. Nasorri Pavone
Women who don’t mind really do, more often than they admit. Minding, mending, middling, taking a back seat on the long bus, getting out to push it. Waiting. Waiting by the side of the road smiling, the smile as shield, as deflector. She’s fine. She’s not hysterical, although how else will she get anyone to listen? Certain displays are more acceptable: a Martha Stewart centerpiece, Waterford crystal punch bowl, Vera Wang Wedgwood China.
