The Mona Lisa and High Cholesterol
Signorina Gherardini's
prophetic visitations
of a drunk's
medical conference
before film-reels
of attentive eyes.
Franco dubbed
this, one of the world's many crises;
xanthelasma,
as Dylan dreamt of 'Highway Blues'.
There is nothing here
for the common muse
to hammer
a nail upon.
I'd prefer the eyes
on a plate, on the ledge;
newsprint in the cavities
splashing vacante,
with the river, track
and bridge being all that matters.
