Ordering a Citywide at the El Bar and confronted with a painting of a baby duck in a diaper. The caption reads, “Remember, little baby egos have big stinky tantrums.” I guess small hands equal small dicks equals out of proportion egotism. I’m sure I don’t need to know the name of the whiskey I’m drinking anymore than I need to ponder the inadequacies of these fragile egos. But the world is falling apart and my indulgence gives me slight repose. We won’t even ruminate on the painting having deeper political meaning.
The painting’s the thing
a clever little caption
with words of wisdom
gives us pause to consider
hearing oversize egos
