The blue it speaks so full

It like the beauty one can barely stand

Or too much things dropped in your hand

And there a green

Like the peace in your heart sometimes

Painted underneath the sheets of ashy snow

And there a blue like

Where the urban angels go very bright

Now the Calder mobile tips a biomorphic sphere

Then it swings its dangling pieces

Round to other paintings here

Your behavior is so male

It like you can explain yourself to me

I think I ask Renoir to tea

For his flowers are as real as they are all the time

And the sunlight sets the furniture aglow

It a pleasant time as far as people go

How far do they go

Well his roses are perfect and his words have no wings

I know what he can give me and

I like to know these things

I met her at the funeral

She said don know what he meant to me

I just know he affected me

An effect not unlike his art I believe

The service starts and we are in the know

He had so much to say but more

To show and ain that true of life

So we weep for a person who lived at great cost

Yet we barely knew his powers

we sensed that we had lost

A friend and I in a museum room

She says at Mark Rothko side

Did you know about his suicide

Some folks were born with a foot

In the grave but not me of course

And she smiles as if to say we in the know

Then she names a coffee place where we can go uptown

Now the painting is desperate but the crowds wash away

In a world of kind pedestrians who seen enough today
