| The blue it speaks so full | |
| It's like the beauty one can barely stand | |
| Or too much things dropped in your hand | |
| And there's a green like the peace | |
| In your heart sometimes | |
| Printed underneath the sheets of ashy snow | |
| And there's a blue like where the urban angels go, very bright | |
| Now the Caldor mobile tips a biomorphic sphere | |
| Then it swings its dangling pieces | |
| round to other paintings here | |
| Your behavior is so male | |
| It's like you can't explain yourself to me | |
| I think I'll ask Renoir to tea | |
| For his flowers are as real as they are all the time | |
| And the sunlight sets the furniture aglow | |
| It's a pleasant time as far as people go, how far do they go? | |
| Well his roses are perfect and his words have no wings | |
| I know what he can give me and I like to know these things | |
| I met her at the funeral | |
| She said I don't know what he meant to me | |
| I just know he affected me | |
| An effect not unlike his art, | |
| I believe | |
| The service starts and we are in the know | |
| He had so much to say but more to show, and ain't that true of life? | |
| So we weep for a person who lived at great cost | |
| Yet we barely knew his powers till we sensed that we had lost | |
| A friend and I in a museum room | |
| She says, 'Look at Mark Rothko's side | |
| Did you know about his suicide? | |
| Some folks were born with a foot in the grave, but not me, of course' | |
| And she smiles as if to say we're in the know | |
| Then she names a coffee place where we can go, uptown | |
| Now the painting is desperate, but the crowds wash away | |
| In a crowd of kind pedestrians who've seen enough today |
