poetry—

well, it’s like painting.

And God knows all painters are draftsmen.

(oh, definitely)

…

la-la-la-la-la

…

dum-de-dum-de-dum

…

Say!

Has anyone

seen that fella from Munch’s Scream?

(not lately)

that Picasso Face?

(not likely)

that Pollack still life?

(no specs!)

Because I know how to fix that…

(drop cloth)

if anyone should actually,

you know,

see these verities.
