Andy Warhol "Shot Marylins"
 


night terrors

living with too much clutter

violent men

I'm tempted to be a performance girl

and enjoy my fifteen minutes of fame;

a modern-day Dorothy Podber

and put notorious as my new name. 

I'd never take a pistol from the mail

and shoot a stack of Marylyn art

that Warhol, after, tried to fix but fail

and the damage bequeathed a greater heart.

No, instead I'd ask to paint a famous bod

Farage or Trump; perhaps e'en Starmer's smarmy face

inviting film crews with a wink and nod

to gather in public gallery place.

 Then once inside the cordon of security there

 I'd pour four cans of Dulux on their tinted air.
