Lady says “I love you too.”

i whine, only two? which two of me do you love?

“How many of you you got in there?”

so i tell her some of the many me’s that make up the United Mutants of Smith:

fool
clown
curmudgeon
eternal child
outlaw
romantic
cynicist
coward
optimist
klutz
magician
seer
artist
poet
trickster
adventurer
rascal
scoundrel
Sisyphus
chameleon
story teller
believer
doubter
seeker
intellectual
flake
hermit
surrealist
absurdist
and a strange “other” or two . . .

those are just the smiths that come immediately to mind. so, which 2 do you love?

“Adventurer and clown,” she immediately answers.

as for Lady, she’s every single 1940’s female star rolled into an ever changing inexplicable one.
