Just as a disclaimer I did not recall this poem's earlier incarnation or its transformation. I reacted to it as something brand new, and before I knew who wrote it--although it did dawn on me in the course of the discussion. To say the painted words are unmediated by meaning is inaccurate: meaning has, rather, been morphed in an unaccustomed manner. Were utter meaninglessness so achievable, this heavy head of mind would find a lot more rest.
