Paint me a picture with countable stanzas, colors that rhyme: directly and slant; paint me a plot that defies its own meaning, a pattern of time that collapses intent. Paint me the lines that twist their own language, the form a bit playful, but in essence profound; paint me a picture that explains its own being, then takes that same being, and twists it around. Paint me a poem that's naked when clothed, with innocent yang and experienced yin— make it sing loudly the chords of the soul and paint it again. And again. And again
