Girls gone Wilde

Oscar Wilde's tomb, Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris

“A kiss may ruin a human life.” — Oscar Wilde

Not sure if his mourners caught the quote, the irony I guess, and how above the tomb is a relief sculpture of some modernist flying angel whose male genitalia has since been vandalized, i.e. castrated, its whereabouts unknown. (Gender bending aside, someone’s gonna make a killing on eBay.) Like forever gumdrops on the pavement, these stone kisses are the graffiti of mouths, signifying that warm wet landing spot we all aim towards with eyes closed, as if seeing past the person.

      In this case, the warm wet landing spot’s upper frontier appears to be unusually hairy.

      I just find it odd that there are so many girls lips kissing the monument.
