As they walk down the street arm in arm, I see
|
them and once again feel the need to ask
|
myself the question, the question that has
|
weighed heavily on me of late. How is it
|
possible that a guy and a girl so dissimilar
|
in physical appearance, there being such a
|
disparity in how attractive each is, be nonetheless
|
in what would appear to be some sort of relationship?
|
|
It ain't done with smoke and mirrors.

How do we explain this? An attraction of
|
opposites? No, that theory has been refuted
|
by many experts in the fields of human psychology.
|
A much greater attraction seems to come from
|
one more similar to oneself. Personality, perhaps?
|
Without intending to sound judgmental, I would
|
say that he doesn't look like what was once called
|
a "live wire" or "the life of the party." He appears
|
rather expressionless. His movements are stiff
|
and even awkward. Perhaps he is a person of
|
some intellect-an expert in science, the arts, political
|
theory. No, I think not. See how well tailored his
|
clothes are, how well cut his hair is.

|
I must confess to you, my listeners, that I have been
|
a little less than honest in pretending I had no answers
|
to my previous questions. You see, I lost someone
|
very dear to me, someone very beautiful, to someone
|
much like him.
|
|
Ah, you ask, surely there must have been other areas
|
where you were deficient and he was not. No, I don't
|
believe so. My shortcomings were of an economic nature.
|
He was rich. I was not.
|
|
You see, I underestimated the appeal to her of things---
|
imported things on wheels, large things with manicured
|
lawns and Olympic swimming pools, things to wear around
|
her neck that would glisten in the night light. Things. Still,
|
I am not bitter. Rather, I am an observer who saw first
|
hand how life may not be fair. Would things have turned
|
out differently between me and her had I moved up the
|
corporate ladder quicker, been born of more noble stock,
|
or done better on one of our journeys to Las Vegas?
|
Perhaps. In fact, I'm certain of it. Things would have turned
|
out differently between me and her. I know this now. It ain't
|
done with smoke and mirrors.
