I saw the girl as the train ceased to make its entrance on the station through the glass on the door and she chose the wagon because I called her with my mind –nothing fancy, really, just takes practice and focus. You look at her in a way no else has –or very few dared. It’s not a provocative look, not a come-on stare either –on the contrary, it’s a look that, to me, it says, “I’m very masculine, I’m proud, I’m tall, I’m strong, I’m completely relaxed, I’m unafraid or at least a thousand times more daring than you, you can be the girl,” and so on. The look says above all, “I’m immoveable”, and so naturally the girl or any other girl that appreciates her sense of vanity sees me as a desirable item. That is why I think it is a look that bears some resemblance with a mannequin.
Mannequins are very instructive symbols, their elegant posture, their slender figure, their unbothered and aimless stare that has both airy and forwardness.
