Relentless Matching
Song Adaptation
Sinatra's "Three Coins in the Fountain" … Adapted —
From Didion’s Play It As It Lays :
Everything goes. I am working very hard at
not thinking about how everything goes.
I watch a hummingbird, throw the I Ching
but never read the coins, keep my mind in the now.
— Page 8
From Play It As It Lays :
I lie here in the sunlight, watch the hummingbird.
This morning I threw the coins in the swimming pool,
and they gleamed and turned in the water in such a way
that I was almost moved to read them. I refrained.
A purely visual version of Didion's three coins —
And then there is an adaptation of a Michael Jackson song —
"I'm looking at the dog in the mirror."
