Mona
and Michel
I
saw the Mona Lisa
Or
did I see her
She’s
practically
a
painted postage stamp
Housed
in a crappy frame
Guarded
by French goons
Who
challenge good hygiene
As
I challenge the authenticity
Of
this experience
Is
the real Mona in the basement
Stored
for insurance purposes
Like
Michelangelo’s journals
Locked
away in the Bowels
Of
secret Vatican vaults.

Big fan of this writer. He seems subtle but underneath a deeper meaning. Most cannot master this talent.
ReplyDeleteIt's good work, man. Unsure about the master or the deeper. Sounds personal as you ask me, Howard.
