Don't let that horse
eat that violin
cried Chagall's mother
But he
kept right on
painting
And became famous
And kept on painting
The Horse With Violin In Mouth
And when he finally finished it
he jumped up upon the horse
and rode away
waving the violin
And then with a low [bow] gave it
to the first naked nude he ran across
And there were no strings
attached
- Lawrence Ferlinghetti original poem has bow in it.. but take a chance and change it to blow.. i find it more satisfying.
Fictitious Self Portrait
The purple waxy line
flaked with every bump
he gripped the crayon
tighter, but before
he could finish
she snatched his hand
hollering, hollering
creative destruction
lesson number ten
spanking number twenty-five
"Didn't you hear me!"
legs crossed, indian style
he smiled at his mother
"I am a robot with no ears."
