This picture is worth two words, Andy
Alan Butler
You stole this photo from a girlfriend.
Mr Warhol the crook
soaked it like acid tabs
and dripped that down your throat
had a damn good night too
shut up, sit down
Mr Nixon, purple mouth
give in, voted down
tie arrow, blue lies
blue enema and fellacic scratching
you widened his mouth, sexual
bits of orange and red,
pencil marks?
Why not a fake mustache?
Is this what your generation paid for
a new, bright hairdue?
I might expect more from you
as a child
iconic American visionary
but you expected more from us
we didn’t
vote down, stop hate
free love, no war
we didn’t hear the colors of your scream
bad-acid-dream red
you must have had quite a headache after that night
A-Whar, seriously.
