I was never very good at art
I shunned the macaroni
pasted in a clumsy heart
I felt myself a phony
I could never get the hang of wood
It’s heavy and I’m weak
nothing in pine was any good
let alone in teak
my paintings sag, their stretcher bars
pulled down by indecision
no publisher wants my memoirs
they say I lack ‘a vision’
the Guggenheim don’t want me
and the Biennale said they’ll pass
I won’t be on the Cannes marquee
I haven’t got the class
but I remember one sweet morn
before her game of bridge
my mother took my work, half torn
and hung it on the fridge.
