Duchampeum

The kings and queens surrounded
by swift nudes
apropos of little sister
torn in tatters.

Stripped bare by bachelors
trailing coffee mills and paradigms —
siphoning a network of stoppages —
nine curving lines.

Dust breeding hideous
noise and a farewell to Florine —
Apollinaire enameled —
by a girl painting a bed frame.

So why not sneeze
At a cage full of sugar cubes?

What I’m Reading:

I wanted to get away from the physical aspect of painting. I was much more interested in recreating ideas in painting.
