modern art by Angela Thomasi hate the feeling of staring at warhol's paintings
in a gallery lit by only the whitest lights, with tourists
speaking in hushed tones of french as their little
pointy shoes slap on the hard wooden floor. i hate
the feeling because i'm thinking of you - thinking of
riding in your car and you pass me the joint and i smile
and we're talking about nonesense - things like family
and college. i want to crawl into your bed and lay across
your arm and have you kiss my forehead softly. but i fear
that your bed is all too soon occupied by another woman,
her hair scenting the pillow with jasmine and you will wash
the sheets before i come over again. i think about this all
as i stare at the collection of campbell soup cans. andy's artwork
is beautiful because it is not perfect. it is flawed. and different.
and it makes me hate the feeling of looking at it because it
reminds me of you. and this means im fallable. i may as well
be a screenprint in different bright colors. a warhol. i hate you. 10/13/2007 Posted on 10/13/2007 Copyright © 2024 Angela Thomas
