Painting With Isis
Welcome to Painting With Isis. Today
We're going to paint a skull. Let's start with black.
Black makes me happy with I take my Prozac.
Anyway. We'll start off with cadaver gray
To emphasize the skull's signs of decay.
Happy colors. Happy thoughts. Let's add a crack
Above the cheekbone and we'll add some plaque
And mold the skull has sprouted on the way.
Now take out your machete, thinking happy thoughts,
And hack that happy freakin' skull to bits
While hollering, "I hope you die, die, die!"
And tell that canvas that you hope it rots
In hades in the fiery, dismal pits--
I hope you had fun painting, and good-bye.
