JOHNS

You emitted pop art
from your jacket paintings
and pocket brushwork
pulling down
the ready made flags
and orange scribbles on labels
from "Ale Cans"
demystified water colors
as life in black crayon 
having seen the put downs
from the machismo energy
of early abstract
expressionists
rise with the times,
you, Jasper watch the waves
with Hart on the cruise
liner Orizoba
in Passage,Diver,
Periscope
in your own conceptualism.
