Andy Warhol LIVE! Two more days only.
You know we close in an hour and a half?
A tight squeeze,
But you can make it.
You can make it.


Andy Warhol, that guy, he's just a fan,
with a silkscreen.
He likes patterns and repetition,
Says it's always different even if it's
Repeated. I don't. Coke makes me sick.

Didn't like Andy. I wanted to.
We walked past the weird movies
Where life was happening, but
Didn't understand. It came slow.
Brillo pad boxes and purple soup.

Then. Then.

We walked into
The Album Covers.
The peeling Banana and the Zipper on Mick's pants,
And John Lennon staring at me just the way
Aretha did.

Mick Jagger. Andy Warhol's a fan.
Made Mick coy and sensual,
and naked (almost.) Lips, pants, eyes.
Mick's. Reluctance.
Warholic androgyny. Pretty like a girl.

Star-struck by gelinite prints I saw.
Boy George (I can't go to prison, they'll
Eat me a live there) with Some Other Guy
(He's famous I should know his name).
The Velvet Underground & Nico
Played with The Mothers of Invention.
(A poster told me so.)

That's Frank Zappa's band. For those
Who don't know.

Listening to Andy talk,
I liked him.
After all.
"How to get into Studio 54?
Don't mention my name."

and polyester is a sin.
Did you know? He wore a wig?
The second draft of that other poem. Criticism = win.
