Hi Atticus:
I love this piece. The opening line must be be from "The Persistence of Memory" by Salvador Dali, no? Also the rhyme scheme is wonderful, although I'm not sure what it is. Knowing you as I do you have invented one.
"MOMA’s sterile walls of
White
Are a dull frightful
Sight
To rich thick pigments,..."After visiting MOMA this summer I particularly like this line. It's a bit ironic; I'm going to start the art chapter with my Spanish 3 students on Monday. Perhaps this poem would make for a good "anticipatory set" about art and artists such as yourself.
Estupendo.
