The art of time
THE ART OF TIME
They achieve notice and wealth,
take post-modern license
in instant languages,
and age into fat
Raggedy Ann/Raggedy Andy
and poise or pose themselves
for the obese brush of Fernando Botero,
the baroque Catholic obsessed
with cabbage patch padding
of bodies so awkward for burial.
Thus, they,
the painted and the painter
remain the grave stuffing of art,
the expense of another world.
