LOVER OF SUBVERSIVE ART
Folder:
EVEN WHORES HAVE FEELINGS
strolling Rittenhouse Square
Fritz the Cat hoodie keeps me warm
a few quizzical looks
and a few nods of approval
someone yells out “R. Crumb”
I don’t recognize the caller
but I recognize a lover
of subversive art.
“Yes, sir, Philly born artist”
is my happy response.
Talk San Fran all you want
It was Philly rowhome life
that shaped R. Crumb’s vision
Another person makes a comment
on my Fritz the Cat hoodie.
It’s good to know I can walk
an urban park on a cool April afternoon
and rhapsodize over
an important Philly artist
