On MOMA's Wall

Sorry Mr. Pop
but Marilyn's still dead
Despite blue eyeliner
and lips of pouty red.

Bright yellow splotches
and brighter black instead
of her breathing presence
don't keep the public fed.

Though she is famous,
what was it that you said?
Your own fifteen minutes
are long past, gone and fled.

  1. Every day I passed
    a Cuban coffee shop
    which also sold jewelry.
    Or was it a Cuban Jewelry store
    which offered coffee?
    I don’t know.
    Its décor was heavy and intimate
    and I wondered whether
    it smelled like a woman’s boudoir
    but the store closed
    so now I’ll never know.

  3. Will You come to my garden?
    You will like my garden.
    My garden is wonderful.
    It lacks but one thing—
    a gardener.
