She Drew A Moustache On The Mona Lisa

The city whirled by the car window

The buildings reached toward the sky

like the arms of interred giants reaching

for sunlight

But its always nighttime in this city

Theres no such thing as lifesblood

Just substances that spill into the ocean

to be returned only at a predetermined date

flip the skyline and the smallest objects

will stand monolithic above the largest monuments

I know because ive seen her do it

ive seen her break down all preconceived notions

she took a chisel to everything ever set in stone

uncrossed the tees and erased all the dots above the eyes

simultaneously stripped it all down to the simplest form

and complicated it to perfection
