I didn’t even know
I was a jigsaw
What about Beethoven’s
Fifth
without the first eight chords
She Loves You
without the Yeahs
Van Gogh’s Sunflowers
painted in black and white
Satisfaction
without
the word satisfaction
Hamlet without Hamlet
Mona Lisa facing
the other way
or, better still:
just the scenery
(c. summer 1990)
