WHY I AM NOT A PAINTER I am not a painter, I am a poet. Why? I think I would rather be a painter, but I am not. Well, For instance, Mike Goldberg is starting a painting I drop in. "Sit down and have a drink" he says. I drink; we drink. I look up. "You have SARDINES in it." "Yes, it needed something there." "Oh." I go and the days go by and I drop in again. The painting is going on, and I go, and the days go by. I drop in. The painting is finished. "Where's SARDINES?" All that's left is just letters, "It was too much," Mike says. But me? One day I am thinking of a color: orange. I write a line about orange. Pretty soon it is a whole page of words, not lines. Then another page. There should be so much more, not of orange, of words, of how terrible orange is and life. Days go by. It is even in prose, I am a real poet. My poem is finished and I haven't mentioned orange yet. It's twelve poems, I call it ORANGES. And one day in a gallery I see Mike's painting, called SARDINES.

![ANIMALS
Have you forgotten what we were like then when we were still first rate
and the day came fat with an apple in its mouth
it's no use worrying about Time but we did have a few tricks up our sleeves
and turned some sharp corners
the whole pasture looked like our meal
we didn't need speedometers
we could manage cocktails out of ice and water
I wouldn't want to be faster or greener than now if you were with me O you
were the best of all my days
[1950]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:65numdswlxgrh4fjkmgwwsaq/bafkreifbm7epusq4u52y4kwl2stl5xxmu37syckx7wj4gl7qbfxcyktd7u)

Too Frank Poems desmond blume from a ceramic egg shell glass in which you could place a small plum a sip of sake reading lunch poems in the words there is evidence focus has been tampered with presently as he strolls to the Frick without head phones past coin slots without any paint at all without even a black rectangle tingling in his pocket only change only books of screwdriver poetry leftover bolts of Barcelona cigarettes without any way to like art without any comment section without shoulder to shoulder complaints only desires to paint with poems what eludes the painter without a brush of time who vainly always has to guess when to freeze time some fish would be nice with this but who even is in the mood for sardines or haiku erotica like dusty armpits make me want to make your fig sweat until it’s raining
