it was fantastic about the cubists
and other modernists
they way they dissolved objects
and moved everything around in space
still feels great today
floating paint on a surface
and positioning things
wherever you like
that seems to fit in the painting
just like poems work
so images can also work
and the trick is to stop yourself
taking too much control
bending everything into something
already seen

So true! Love that painting too.
