In a Baroque Cathedral, Counter Reformational
The paintings, slick and artful as can be,
Are pompous as a pope in peacock robes.
Such scenes sneer at spirituality,
Though that’s unclear. Our lucid thinking probes
The glossy oil meaning. Saints can feel
Their cloaks all blown about. Marilyn’s skirt
Comes forefront in the mind. Jesus’ squeal
Is well behind the canvas. Virgin pert
Breasts peep from out the blue folds, but the guy
Who paid for all this sexless sexy swirl
Is happy. He pretends. His holy eye
Sees Mary, but he also pervs a girl.
..We see him kneeling there and looking up,
….Slyly praying near the tit he wants to cup.
