MS. Found in a Blender
I know he said that art should shock
and rearrange the senses,
I figured that was just a crock
to scramble my defenses.
I even knew I'd have to shill
to get the show all fixed up
but now I can’t tell vent from gill,
I’m so completely mixed up.
O, Marco, sure someone once said,
“Take life for inspiration.” Though
if you can't understand, at least
please misconstrue that like Van Gogh
- don’t take it out on bird or beast -
go off and off yourself, instead.
While I admit affinity
'twixt us and the artiste,
I much prefer sanguinity
in goldfish by Matisse.
At Trapholt fish have been pureed,
for art, inside a Moulinex.
No bourgeoisie got epateed,
in fact the bastards pulled the switch.
Don't blame them, though. They’d had their fill
of artists making all the swill.
