the great master baiters

i am starting to think

that picasso painted to just get the girls

to slip into a sweet summer

away from the warm wind and long lost days

in front of that great death

guernica les demoiselles the weeping woman

arm pits bare breasts abound

all the females in the world

are in the museum

framed and straight

with their dresses soaked by the sun

breezing into a curvy  liberty

is all art just about a woman

is all art just about the loss of one

they leave though

before beauty

means anything

*

in front of goya

i am reminded that

wild dogs are free

but they receive no pats

watch how wild they

fuck when alone

chained to some greater thing

that is more than freedom

more than the dominated too

*

another great work

another medicore feeling

am i to suffer this death of the uninformed here too

where everything is permitted

and all interpretations are valid

and i cannot help but think that the people here

in front

smell better than the paint peeling

what is their perfume

how still are their scented blooming lives

excuse me

i am told

you stepped on my toe

another great work

another mediocre feeling
