This be
the poem

where according to your
reasoned suggestions

I deleted every word
considered superfluous

every image
that did not fit

so please let me
know if it
reads better, conforms
to your high standards
(you
   could scribble your response
somewhere in
the margin

    or on the other
side of the page).

AT THE HOUSE OF COCO CHANEL

AT THE HOUSE
OF COCO CHANEL

sorry
I ate all
your makeup

some tasted
caramel
some had a chocolate
flavour

most was just
generic pink

felt like
winning the lottery
and blowing it all
at the candy store

even ate the blue
leather bag everthing came in

a cross
between the taste of
blueberries and
the taste of
cow

but hey, now,
take a peep at my insides
and you might think
you are at a
disco
at the Moulin Rouge
with Miranda wears Prada
at the house
of Lagerfeld or
Coco Chanel
