When Voices are Replaced by Squared Up Bars
A watercolor, or some paintings made
Of oils, or photographs in black and white
Are all like Cubist art but with truth’s blade,
Not brush. The forms, the shadows, and the light
In images of island Greece, are grand
Picassos—only, much more beautiful
Contrasted with modernist reduction. Banned
From them is bourgeois thinking, dutiful
To theory instead of truer things.
The architecture of these islands when
Conveyed to pupils angularly sings
Of eons of the strength of ordered men.
..Destruction of the ways that men have long
….Used handsomely embarrasses our song.
