Hung for Love
In two mass hangings I’ve participated–
judged hangings, where those hung were mostly framed.
Our tool was twisted wire, and placards named
each object of our effort, indexed, rated.
The first was for a woman I once dated
whose psychedelic oils were featured there;
my mother’s water-colors, hung with care
formed part of the exhibit in the second.
That’s how it went when mom or sweetheart beckoned:
help at the gallery, and hang them square!
