I like to take model kits
and mix up the parts.
So I end up with a model T
with Frankenstein’s arms for headlights,
a B-29 with a Napoleonic warship’s cannons
mounted on wings and tail,
a 50’s hoodless hot rod
with a Godzilla head instead of an engine.
But my masterpiece is a diorama
of the fall of the Alamo
with ants painted red, white and green
for the Mexican soldiers
and an oversized gold-suited Elvis
with a Hydra head
singing a duet with the Giant Mantis
who’s wearing wearing a coonskin cap
inside the fortress
in front of a drive-in theatre screen
showing Picasso’s Guernica.
