The Miró Exhibit at MoMA*: Dec. 21, 1993

These bodies 
look like they were pancake mix 
that, when poured on the skillet, 
turned out to look sort of human.
* 
A small boy tells his brother 
“Y veo muchas chi-chis.” 
* 
Two Philosophers 
are two taffied men with genitals 
stuck on a stark textured landscape 
between night and day, heaven 
and land. 
* 
A large canvas, painted green 
with two straight black lines 
and one curved. 
The guy next to me says, 
“I painted this one once.”
* 
Wind leaves things a-tilt. 
Insects in a rip-tide; 
that man is lucky his mustache 
is well anchored. The crescent moon 
in the upper corner leans back 
and watches. 
* 
I can see myself in the reflection 
of the glass that separates me from Blue; 
I can see the art 
from my T-shirt in the reflection. 
I look at myself through my glasses, 
superimposed on Blue.
