Windows

LES FENETRES
why do we we cover our windows, you ask?
 well, a lot of the time, for very practical reasons
to screen our lives from prying eyes,
to keep our houses warm in winter, cool in summer,
to deaden the sound of footsteps in a large naked space,
 and, most of the time, for solely esthetic reasons
 to glamorize. modernise. sensualise.
accentuate. decorate. illuminate.
stretch out. jazz-up. dress-down. 
and, as we proceed on our quest for the perfect window-wear, 
let's take great care in choosing the ideal
outfit
