Ode to Larry Rivers
Once
when doctors were giving my body the final once-over before an operation
staring through me like cellophane with radioactive machines
I was being wheeled out for my next exam
and in the wheelchair across the aisle I saw the face of Larry Rivers.

Compassionate young people were attending him
spiffily dressed
just as I imagined the progeny
of a great artist
would be.
They laughed 
enjoying him
and enjoying each other
enjoying him.

But he caught me staring and stared right back.
He knew I knew
who he was.
And that I knew
he didn’t know
who I was.

And this mutual knowing and unknowing quality of the knowing about knowing and unknowing seemed to amuse him.

He smirked.

And in this mortal moment 
his recognition 
of my recognition 
seemed kind.

Édouard Vuillard

I like the busy patterns 
dotted with flowers, 
shawls and lawns, 
collars of Édouard Vuillard.

They make me think
of old women having a shot 
of brandy in their tea.
O the pleasures of nightcaps, 
bingo, and sachet.

It is nice to think of becoming 
an old lady even if you 
already are one. When you 
take off your glasses, 
a young girl stares out 
at the fuzzy world amazed 
to have made it this far.
