read the lines from "girl powdering her neck” by cathy song, then look at the artwork by kitagawa utamaro.

her hair is black
with hints of red,
the color of seaweed
spread over rocks.

morning begins the ritual
wheel of the body,
the application of translucent skins.
she practices pleasure:
the pressure of three fingertips
applying powder.
fingerprints of pollen
some other hand will trace.

the peach-dyed kimono
patterned with maple leaves
drifting across the silk,
falls from right to left
in a diagonal, revealing
the nape of her neck
and the curve of a shoulder
like the slope of a hill
set deep in snow in a country
of huge white solemn birds.
her face appears in the mirror,
a reflection in a winter pond,
rising to meet itself.

invention of the washing machine

in the past, people used sticks and stones or scrub boards to clean their clothing. as it was sweaty, backbreaking work, we owe a world of to james king because he created the model for the modern washing machine in 1851. the most important issue was that this machine cleaned clothes while a person cranked the handle. doing this made people who used it develop strong muscles in their arms. later, in 1908, alva j. fisher created an electric washing machine named thor. this one was not the first automatic washing machine. however, it was one of the most popular models at the time.
