Someone's Living In My Purse!
someone slipped into my handbag
i knew then sadness
a wet hanky
my bad hair day
they handed me a comb
they exchanged chocolates
i'd sprayed into the bag
i found the wrappers in a corner
the tissue papers had messages in them
someone had drawn a moustache
on my pics
my credit cards were overdrawn
i swear i did not see them leave
but i found a new diamond ring
it lay beneath the wet hanky
i was washing clothes when i should have been jogging
my day list was all screwed up
someone's living in my purse
someone and someone and someone
and they're living my life.
Dali's Many Moustaches -- Josette Brouwer's 5th grade art class, Georgetown Elementary School, Hudsonville, Michigan
Salvador Dalí
Dalí died on 23 January 1989 and was buried in a crypt below the stage of his Teatre-Museu Dalí in his hometown, Figueres, Catalunya. His body was exhumed on 20 July 2017 to settle a paternity suit. His embalmer, Narcís Bardalet, was amazed to see that his "mustache remains intact, marking 10 past 10, as he desired. It's a miracle. Dalí will be with us for a long time.” The mustache measured 25 cm and Michael Elsohn Ross called it a "heavily waxed and flexible work of art;" the painter himself referred to it as "the most serious part of my personality." In 1954 he and photographer Philippe Halsman published "Dali's Mustache: A Photographic Interview" with a series of questions, cryptic answers, and photos; the book ends with the query, "Could it be that you are crazy?" and the response, "I am certainly saner that the person who bought this book."
