The Birth of Venus
Art is always considered a luxury;
an investment made by the rich
to acquire status symbols;
to boost the image of themselves in mirrors
but the common people find art
in the every day and I am nostalgic
for the book I rescued from the garage
mildewed and damp,
lithographs of Botticelli and Rembrandt
individually glued to letterpress pages
on paper heavier than cardboard
but my mom refused to have it in the house
because some of the paintings were rude.
