Pollock is Dead
by Kane X.Faucher

Art has no eyes.
Literature has no legs.
I’ve got pepper and a truncheon:
Let’s make some maker.

And the critic speaks:

The King of Tricks
Slips make skips rail,
A talking doctor.
Armed with twisdom
(widomine patre vomitus),
Preaching from chair-conditioned office,
With the time of cactusk
Gifted unto him by a prick.

Art rests in piece and the artist is mute;
The critic is schixotic
And always has the last tilt.
