 Expressionist Brancusi's "The Kiss" executed (an unfortunate word) in 1908 as a funerary monument in a Paris cemetary a permanent marker of two in a timeless embrace, innocent and anonymous. Impressionist Rodin's "The Kiss" in 1898 grows from roughhewn marble symbolic of earthbound passion to a senuous and soft embrace meant to last forever. Our kisses so fluid and ephemeral not built from rock, too fleeting and unsolid no memorial to an ageless passion, but a quick and fragile frame of a longer film which flickers to the past. I know now why I Love the rain (or is it Love I Love?) and hurricanes, disasters which bring the promise of desperate embrace. We run around life's little room with all real contact being hampered by current events, like hassocks being thrust into our shins to impede a closing. A whispered news item last week of an asteroid whose massive block threatens earthen continents on course for 2019. The non-reaction worrisome that we prefer a panicked armageddon and it's last minute drama to the promise of a 17 year celebration and a slow eternal kiss.
