Art Lecture

I went to the art lecture

Because I knew it would

Be dark, and I could sit 

In the back of the room

In back of all the backs

Of heads staring forward

At the slides shuttering by,

Oil strokes, cut stones

Doric spires all whispering

--This too shall pass—

Ruins.

You could still smoke in those

Rooms back then 

And the plumes and gray lace 

Rose to the rafters

--Like souls---
