good morning message for George W. Bush

The Grand Palace of Versailles

“An elephant made out of cotton..
towers of lace under which satin-heeled
gentlemen sit playing with the bustles
of slightly dessicated Grandes Damns
Good Morning Louis,it’s a fine day
in the mirror

A chaise longue carved
out of the living body of a white leopard
spools of silk placed in buckets
of gilt milk..A three-headed dancer
prancing to the music of a little bell
languidly swung by a Negro with a harelip
Two visiting kings having their canes reheaded
while a painter to the court tints their eyebrows
with the juice of mildly sickening berries
What does Salvador Ernst Matta,Louis?
It’s a fine day in the mirror”
