vision
at the picasso guitars exhibit
i think about picasso’s guitars
i think they couldn’t have
been much trouble to do
paper
and sheet metal
a little paint
some paperboard
wallpaper
and old french newspapers
enough time on one’s hands
to create
this almost looks too easy
i tell my wife
as we walk the exhibit backwards
(which was not an artistic statement
on our part)
(we simply failed
to read the directions)
it is, she says
you just need to have a vision
right then and there
i have a vision of forsaking the art world
to go and get drunk on beer
which is probably why
you’ll never see my shit
hanging in the museum of modern art.

One thing I always liked about your poems is you have these "black-eye" closing lines..
glad to be reading your words once more:-)
