Art
All this sin and lust
All this idolatry
All this art
We open our eyes
Open our ears
Open our minds
Such greedy strokes
A plain
A window
A palette
Some hint of colour
Some touch of dimension
Such didactic texture
Hanging in the Louvre
Hanging in the Prado
Hanging from the Gallows
Losing one's mind
Losing one's grip
Losing one's head
Like Charles the first
Like a lover of secondary art
Like a poised third party
Reconnoitering elegance
Tired arrogance portraying art
Fine lines and expensive pigments
Fine silk and powdery faces
Such dashing beauty and nonchalant poses
All that poetic magnificence
In a word
Art
