Poetry

Taking the (silent) tour of the broad museum (virtual)

Tap the comments and the comments will disappear
as a stream of hearts float up obscuring
Kruger’s BODY is a battleground
while the perspective of a machina
looking at an ex machina
traverses the Broad
reminding me of how I stood once by the Serra
and said this work makes sound
and your unforgiving face
an underminer to make thoughts minor
HI! writes MJ from Camden, NJ
like the camera here only interested in edges
forcing a view
as if it was universally known
what was important was outside us
like a petulant child, jumping in place
art as a playground
history as a drone
