PINK I just saw an old art joke --
"PINK" in purple ink --
A T-shirt on a sad young girl
Stalking out of (what else?)
A gallery, and thought
Of the drowning man
Trapped
Beneath a grate
An inch beneath the surface.
He breaths through a straw
Penetrating the screen,
Will live only if he
Inhales slowly,
Calms his anxiety,
Relaxes until
He dies from hypothermia,
Or -- if in the Carribean or
The Gulf of Cortez --
From starvation,
But never from thirst
Or the color pink.
