EDWARD HOPPER'S TIME

It is as if on a movie screen
from your legacy's sun down
as we stare at your art showings
in your drawing of Watteau's clown

A pioneer show stopper
as art clearings engineer
with Warhol and Pollack
Hopper 's colorful part is clear

In a choppy sea by the Cape
he climbs in surreal geometric shapes
as in my dramatic,astonishing quatrains
draped in an realistic enigmatic veneer

In your sign language of our time
desiring an hour in the museum
at an age of war, crime and fire
you inspire a fine daring dream.
