“There is no blue without yellow and orange”
To Vincent
in van gogh’s mind the cats
and for sure the sunflowers
sway in the breezes with his brushes
a starry night on the rhone
and a few women from arles
who could recognize a modern schizophrenic
with his beardless self-portrait
maybe with his irises
but the yellow pre-manic depressiveness
alright digitalis is before theo
how about his ear cut with absent
if theo did not exist
would there be the same portrait of dr gachetnin
asks the high heeled woman
two hours earlier than the bridge traffic
her rings are in abundance pseudo-intellectually
was the year two thousand and thirteen, or was it ending with two
the modern ones are gone
in porcelain teapot
what they observed was the fast cooling tea
and their being impressionist too
