How I must be painted

She knows he sees


her silhouette


from across the building


and knows


he paints her


as if he were Edgar Degas


 


But these times


are avant-garde


Her moneymaker shimmies


knowing full well


the peeping Tom


is no Willem de Kooning


 


He could not keep up


with her spunk


(yes I mean both ways)


or acid rock and


especially her drug-induced


strident lyrics when she fucks
