Was it art or anti- art
That hurled a bright, fiery dart
Deep into the bourgeois heart?
This mimicking of advertising.
Was perhaps a mirror of the times.
Warhol's images were repeated
And repeated from shopping
And pop culture: from Brillo boxes
To Campbell's soups; from Chairman Mao
And Elvis Presley to Marilyn
And Jackie Kennedy. Lichtenstein
Borrowed from comic books and
Oldenburg replicated fast food:
Modern signs worth turning into art.
