Poem Artwork

 


 


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 f***s


 


~~~

damn, you are good!
and so what if you are not de Kooning...maybe some prefer Nodopaka...
you don't know, course, okay, perhaps he is better known, but you are one damned amazing artist...
words/painting, so f'ick gifted, Alex, damn...
no...never a dull read with you, nor image, nor...
well, I'm a fan, and I may even have learned how to spell your name, duh, okay, I am aphasic and off, but I loved this...yes, strakly real and just out there, you are an Artist w/more than an uppercase A.
you just draw one in and one comes back and back to reread and relook, guess you are one fine poet as well...
so THERE!
thanks, always, you are so always there w/a new gift from your gifts or words that make one think and smile and/or ponder when you visit too...
Love IT!
