The Modern Art Market Grotesquely Distorted: “Seated Woman in Blue Dress” Sells for $45 Million
If I were burdened with a lover who
Looked crooked like this woman (woman?), I
Would go as twisted as Picasso. Blue
Lips, though, are what I’d paint to help me fly
Away from her (or him?—can’t really tell),
And if the her/him face looked so like dwarf
Distorted body features, I would yell
(With pretty words), “Please, honey, may I morph
You into something else? We’ll have to part
If I can’t paint you pretty. If I bloat
You up as is, then who will buy the art?
Look here. To show my love, I’ve slit your throat.
..They won’t believe you’re young as thirty one!
….Please may I change your looks, love, just for fun?”
