Don Diego


from the ABC set

Dwarves and buffoons
and a mirror-sly insertion of the artist.
Why not? Am I not Don Diego,
official court painter?
I can paint an old woman
frying eggs
and sell it too.

Kings and Princes
with kindly flattery from the artist.
Why not? Are they not paying?
Lantern-jawed Phillip
I can paint determined,
seeming great
and sell that too.
