Menno Krant's Cuttings Poem by Randy Resh

I have witnessed a host of emulators
Sycophantic emphatic fanatics
Invariably they'd arrive ever so early
For your show openings at the Pteros Gallery

Trench coat incognito discreto
Dark sunglasses eye-stalk hungry

Those with the courage to stray
(could see them coming from miles anyway; -)

Stragglers from some secretive entourage
Occulted thirst envy junkies

I would leave them to their own very
Respective poaching privy in the gallery

Studiously drooling duly noting
Deconstructing your diamond cuttings

Swiftness sweeping stealthily
Windswept cloaken arrival leavings

Can't say that I blame them
Refusing the registry
For they were not buying
Nor culture hopping

Your impossible pace they were only
Simply keeping vying

Stealing the shavings
crystalline savings

Your gem stellar sacred
Incomparable imitable shining jewelry
