I COPIED THE MONA LISA
I copied the Mona Lisa.
I have things that disappeared.
I took the favored capsule with a
wink; its nod and smile too. I marked
the distant background - all the hillocks
and greens, as if a meandering river
ran through, a brigand's hat and a
carriage too, a castle, a moat, a coach.
No monk to seek disfavor, I stalked
across this land at will : a distant, rural
cousin to today's new urban kin.
