WHO ARE OUR BARBARIANS —The museum How we love them when they are singing and simple in gorgeous sneakers. Invite them in, touch their eyes until they sprout. Touch their mouths with art. Hush, hush— Soon they will speak. Then a tour, so the slack mouths unfurl and those many colored birds fly out! Or: call them from their hovels. Then, in their blister lips, in their shackles and downcast looks, their nervous rows, you can paint them, quick, with brushes and gouache. Mount them on the wall. Our barbarians are fleet to the touch and, like paintings, lovely. |
