A Day in the Galleries
(walker)
someone missed a drip of white
on our finely museumed walls.
someone missed a job today
fired from the wall upkeep.
this painting looks as nice as
one can tell from broom closet.
someone's found a job today,
axe pretention hand in hand.
pressure applied to fault line
visible with quick polish
cleaned paying more attention
to the oils and paints and sand.
perfection to be conquered
swing axe a little harder.
broken case of broken glass
crumbling dripping down the walls.
go find some more modern art.
don't forget your axe of course.
i've still got this well-worn broom,
i'll sweep up your glass for you.
