A Modern Definition of Art
WOMAN 2
spouts inanely re
travails of HERO
and HEROINE.
She functions as
ditzy personality,
cardboard, not bale-
ful character. Feminists
insist her being
written out. Playwright
asks only Could someone
like this exist?
Perhaps your pouty Aunt
Dorothy? Or wittier Delilah?
(Next time give her a prick?)
His grating, prissy rule derided
roundly, play starts losing money. So
Producers order Chuck her!
He still tries sticking with Art.
Has full 24 to soundly luxuriate,
since Fat Jack truly observant.
But next day informed “Fuck you!”
Additionally, "Art is a fart blown
though the asshole of Time!"

Dating Over 50
at a motley thunderbolt arrangement suspended from
the ceiling of the shopping center.
An officially nervous young woman approached.
“Are you the man lost his wife?”
“Yes, but many years ago. Another found her."
The large shiny bag, lavender, preceded Joan then.
“Is everything a joke?”
“Yes!”
“I can foresee another of our little SEMinars!”
“Oh please not! I’ll say what you wish! Anything so
I don't have to go on Facebook again!"
“Shush! You're making me forget my next errand!”
“Does that ridiculously large container hold a
body-length diaphanous scarf?”
“Dream on!”

The Critic
-Stale, flat, derivative, imitative!
-You can tell by looking at one little painting?
-Naturally.
-What if it’s satire, mocking its rigid form?
-It’s not.
-I’ve seen others of his, and they’re fresh and cheeky. He takes chances.
-That’s your view.
-Views. That’s where we differ.
-Whatever.

Uncle Harkie
criticized as Mitzi ran through the cable channels.
“That faker!..That idiot!...Stop that imbecile!...
Funny black folks? No thanks!....Young people
mucking everything up. Uh huh?...The News?
When it's about the frauds spose to be giving it?
Off with their talking heads!”
Finally, Zip took out the video camera, throwing
Uncle Harkie's image up on the screen.
“And chuck that fat-faced loser!” he laughed.

It all came back to him now. Like
Sinatra, Pippy had lived
a life that’s full—minus a few women.
the Kool Kup’s Karaoke Night.
Highlighted by Yocko’s girlfriend,
Big Boobs Gladys, as he
sings of travelling each and every highway:
“Yeah, on your knees!”
This proves chief zinger among many.
Yocko has already chimed in with “Your way? Everybody
else’s, more like!”
Even Silent Lucy sings her little
parody in the space where
Pippy puts the mike down to sip a drink and light a
cigarette,
a la Frank. “Regrets, you’ve had a million!”

The Lousy Artist Explains His Work
and so well, he soon heads
The Museum of Explanation,
next to the original.
It prospers, as he later
tells Osgood Carruthers on
Peripatetic Dockings: “For
people truly don't have time!”
The original repairs to bake
sales, and wry chamber quartets
