Ode on James Rosenquist's Lanai (1964)
 
Deck your canvas with peach yolk candy
set prostrate, impala.
 
You cruise blue hue through sexpink
taffy; Drink Lemon-sky on downside
with our loud wide fancy. 
 
Too true (true), of well-crude minds…
to pencil-rind erasure, happy. 
 
What silver-spooned smooth oil
looms America's Ticonderoga,
sweet-thirst empirical—Bathing?
 
Hands begging to a cool sip
for each missing mouth.
