Dream Poem 92: 1960’s Classroom Affair


A 1960s film, very stylized

The relationship between a woman teacher and a late teen boy
He is blond and overweight by todays fashion standards
She is dark and tanned, hair cut in a bob, beautifully cut clothes.

She is in line with the young man and is fighting her feelings.

She sits in her apartment in the evening.
All in white, white YSL dress, white Mary Quant shoes
She sits at white plastic furniture leafing through a copy of Paris Vogue.
It is a very modern roof top terrace
There are high windows
all done in the Modernist Bauhaus style.

West Side Story – a doomed love affair.

The next shot is In the class room
There is an info graphics film about the
physiognomic difference between a man and a teenager.
With kooky drawings and comparison measurements.

The next scene, He is there at her flat
She is trying to tell him to leave
But cannot help crying
He wants to comfort her
But convention stands in the way.

In the next scene
They have crossed that line
And he is close to her
With his face close to her face
Things have changed

The power balance has changed.
