GIFT ECONOMY

Cheers!—to that alluring mister 
portrait of a swirling 

Vincent Van Gogh over there—with his curiously 
well-pared 
finger-

nails and ginger-
ly mannered
sunset-

red 
beard 
and purled hair—For he!

always seems
to take 
better care

than you 
or I do
to remember—Art

that is simply
too pure!
doesn't sell;

better by far—to take
a preexisting 
piece of weird work

and just—
cool

and off-
handedly—stick 
a clock-

radio 
in there—somewhere.
