Ivar Arosenius, Swedish
Time-Lapse Photography of a Guy Doing Jazz Hands, 1901
Watercolor
/// Some who view Ivar’s caricature
of his friend, Ole Kruse,* are sure
that the women he dated
had all probably stated,
“He’s too handsy and not that mature.”
*(pronounced OH-leh KROO-seh)
/// Those who think this— not one understands
he was no octopus who’s “all hands.”
And their second guess fails:
He’s not drying his nails.
When he speaks, each wild gesture expands.
/// In truth, Ole was never the one
to jump in when the mirth had begun.
These two artists were friends,
but their likeness there ends.
It was Ivar who lived life for fun.
/// Doing tricks that magicians can weave,
he first shows nothing up either sleeve.
Playing cards soon appear,
but how did they get here?
“Magic powers,” the foolish believe.
