Want is the value added
transaction that accrues
meaning to the leavings
in the flea market stall
I have my own old
chipped teacup
of experience
for that matter,
but I’d rather pay a little
for another’s fall from grace
than part with my own.
Wow that's good.

I lost it in the Ufizi
between the span
Of Titian and Tintoretto
numbed by painters
and the low light
accommodations
to preservation, stumbling
into an artfull hall,
and finding I preferred
the open-sided vista
and the air of the loggia
presenting possibilities
of escape from
the claustrophobia
of the gallery dark
layers of civilizations’
accused condemned and exalted .
I wouldn’t dare to aspire
to the walls of the Buontalenti,
and abandoned the optomistic
auto guide inside to its virtue
of understanding everything
between reason and result
"che gelida manina "
the painters hand
indexed and numbered
patronised by hope.
