Reclining Nude with Pet Frog - poem

Reclining Nude with Pet Frog

For a scribbler in that art magazine

           “…bodiless heads, green horses and violet grass, seaweed,
shells and funguses...conventionally arranged
 in the manner of Dali.”

-Evelyn Waugh, Put Out More Flags, pp. 31-32

Making messes is but poor huswifery
Tie-dyeing creativity into
A finger-painting school of assemblage
Asymbol’d: “Reclining Nude with Pet Frog”

In praise of working people and, like, stuff -
Your comrade cleaners whom you claim to love
Could tell you what a simp you are. They won’t
Because they need their jobs, dear precious poof

So, disappear your selfies into your ‘phone -
The 1960’s are over and gone
