The History of Wigging

January 31, 2005

Pollock is a mastodon of modest painting
Chirico a master on modem shaking

Mondrian a mastiff on modish Blaking
Picasso is a mastodon of modest ski baking

They’re tearing at the insides growing in the park
Peculiar in their excess way shaming lemon ark

Gorgeous as a pencil body slim as a limb
Ganging up on anybody looks like him

Making all the standerbys see sky blue
Making all the lubber butts feel bad, too

After all and after all it’s because war
I mean a sudden lullaby to charter this before

Grant this an abstract ballast
To navigate insider balance

The Impercipient, 1994
