Woman Warrior
I'm still waiting for a girl who looks like a woman I saw in a painting in a gallery that closed when I was 17. Her name was Woman Warrior, and she adopted the features of her Chinese Mother but it wasn't the way she looked, it was the way she looked that made me feel less alone for ten minutes several times a week. If I had a house and a job and $10,000 to burn she would have been mine. It was the first time I had a way of measuring the reasons I could not be with someone. I have never forgiven her for this.
