Who stole my Dorothea Tanning?
   was it some homeless grifter?
   was it a tire salesman?
   was it my gynecologist?

As the headline reads:
Woman Goes to Get 
      Brazilian Wax, 
  Alarmed to Notice Waxer Is Wearing Video Recording Glasses

Prophesied by Duchamp
   Decades before 
Étant donnés: 
  1. La chute d’eau
  2. the illuminating gas

As the bright red Moon was below    
    the horizon in Maine, 
    visible only in Ukraine 
   there was no local view
just a restless feeling of dread

Reclining open legged
  on one of Dorothea’s 
    impossible couches 
slipping into the next nightmare 

Max Ernst’s ghost is president 
   some people are saying
  in occupied 
DC

I am dressed up
  as a presidential wife
My bosoms aching
Sick to my stomach 
 with surrealistic gravitas 

Maybe our pet ferrets 
   will go feral now
Running up the legs
 Towards home
