an opinion on the photograph of Charlie Loan & Meredith Wildes

they painted pictures in the same studio designated: "C".

when the day was done they went their separate ways,

Charlie to his residence, and Meredith to hers.

there’s no proof they ever kissed.

they shared a brief history in the "whaling city",

lasting a few years while at art school ( the SwizDee )

where someone ( not credited ) snapped the photo-

graph after a short time of classically oriented

arrangements for the final posing of the two principals.

this is the greatest photograph of all time.

this photograph is better than the polaroid snap-

shots of Jesus, posing at the empty

tomb of Lazarus. ( else, who would've known ? )

and you can take the blistering, yelling, and

burning Hindenburg fiasco, (  film by Thomas Craven ) and

put it in your pantry with your cupcakes. ( music and lyrics by Paul Simon )

and it's even better than the still-frame:

"woman throwing a ball". ( plate 8, Eadweard Muybridge ) –– but

its status is being called into question and is currently scheduled

on the docket to be adjudicated. ( her honor, Aileen Cannon presiding )

that is, the adjudication to determine the authenticity of the photograph

of Charlie & Meredith, not the Eadweard Muybridge, which seems to be

regarded as "settled law", ( an opinion by Justice Amy Coney Barrett ) ––  and

of course, no.  I don't trust the sincerity of Aileen Cannon's jurisprudence,

let alone that of Amy Coney Barrett.
