#468 The Virgin's Chariot

Elsewhere it is drawn by lions,
on solid ground, even if it is 
a rough track rather than a
road. Cherubs accompany her,
either to keep her amused or on
hand to push — while the lions
pull — the chariot should it 
happen to get stuck. Allegory
drawn large. The Virgin Mary 
on her way to heaven, assumed
body & soul, traveling first class 
on a triumphal vehicle. Much
the same thing here. The means 
of transport a shiny mirror, the
suitcase closed as befits a virgin.
Yet the perspective all wrong. If
the mirror's right, then the case
could only hold a single tube of 
lipstick. If the case is lifesize then a
reasonable entourage could balance 
on the mirror comfortably. So
what's the answer? Perhaps it
lies in those marks on the mirror.
Dare we suppose some lines of
coke were snorted here, & the
world now somewhat distorted.
