Piss Christ (1987)
You know those labels in museums by
The items on display and in the art
Exhibits. Do you think they’re being sly
Sometimes? The curators seem to impart
The barest minimum. They’re virgins who
Give off the palest pheromones. You can’t
Smell perspiration of the coyest blue
And that’s the point. You’re left to feel aslant
Too all the culture that’s withheld. That’s best.
These nuns who run exhibits, galleries,
And blockbuster civilized shows arrest
Our minds with stingy calories.
..If otherwise, they might teach something and
….We’d see the shallow intellectual sand.
