1130

BMAG

I stroll by famous paintings

Stopping at first to view with care

Then passing some

Until they drift unnoticed before my gaze

Which now is somewhere else;

And all that power and effort, skill and strife

Which went into each canvas

Counts for nothing

But a nod

As I drift down

Towards the shop.
