Drinking Coffee Elsewhere


Red, Orange.
Orange on Red?


Hold on, the artist cried,
Hold on to the orange,
hold on to the red!

Red on Orange?
No, Orange on Red,

Leave the rest
of the world orange,
but paint this town
orange and red!

  6. Merisi, these images of summer in Venice and Vienna are making what I see daily in New York seem ... oh, let me choose an adjective, bland.
