In the first sentence, I read: “The woman with the patient eyes looks at me. I smile inwardly.” I search the room for a woman with patient eyes; my eyes settle on a woman looking absorbedly at a series of photographs in the same room. She does look kind.

I turn back to the screen: “A girl with Peter Pan boots and glasses walks into the room.” I watch as the text rounds out its description of me: “She looks comfortable, in a young way.” I like this description. I’m glad I look comfortable. I don’t feel comfortable. Do I ever feel comfortable? Read it all: SFMOMA | OPEN SPACE
