To commemorate the holiday here is a poem by e.e. cummings;
why must itself up every of a park
anus stick some quote statue unquote to
prove that a hero equals any jerk
who was afraid to answer "no"?
quote citizen unquote might otherwise
forget(to err is human;to forgive
divine)that if the quote state unquote says
"kill" killing is an act of christian love.
"Nothing" in 1944 A D
"can stand against the argument of mil
itary necessity" (generalissimo e)
and echo answers "there is no appeal
from reason" (freud)-you pays your money and
you doesn't take your choice. Ain't freedom grand
-e.e. cummings circa 1950 from Xaipe
Above is a painting I did 5 years ago "Silverline" that to me is a reference to my own military service.
Does this poem bring to mind a work of visual art for you?
See you wed. john.
