Tim Davis, The New Antiquity<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You are standing in a field in Italy, looking at a pile of rocks. They are unremarkable, rutting out the ground like any gentle reminder that we live on something called a \u201ccrust.\u201d You\u2019ve seen rocks and these are rocks. But someone else\u2014a friend, a guidebook, a scholar\u2014sees a temple, an Etruscan temple of characteristic proportions carved from something called \u201ctufa\u201d and consecrated to Fufluns, a wine god. You don\u2019t exactly see a temple, but sense that these rocks\u2014as integral to the ecosystem of any vacant Roman lot as seasonal chicory and perennial used condoms\u2014are suddenly significant. They mean something they stubbornly refused to mean minutes before.

Tim Davis<\/strong>,\u00a04. Seven Entertainers<\/em>
Xena Warrior Princess looks like Bill Clinton’ mom. As do some of the women he loves. And in Sunset Boulevard t-shirt shops, I’ve come to play Pompeii. Hurculaneum, insists Xena. OK. Meanwhile the wrist is voted most erotic axis as Buffy and John Kennedy share a, yes, explicable encounter. The figures at right are believed to be Mao and Mata Hari.

Tim Davis<\/strong>,\u00a012. Press Only<\/em>
Attempting journalism I discovered documentary. Invited to the press conference but lacking sat. phone and dig. back, I got narrowly locked out. Locked, that is, face to face with a Delphi of reaction shots. I couldn’t hear the announcements, but noted the annunciation.

Tim Davis<\/strong>,\u00a026. Circuit City<\/em>
O cards to play, O sleeves. A black sheep on a bleak ship walks into a bar, and acts as you’d expect: stunned to see anyone in the room. An allegory and an embarrassed snicker walk into a bald spot, O cramped chest of knowing you’re the wrongest possible person for the job.
