Minimalist Modernist

thinking like Stein but
drinking beer from a stein
remembering German days
not Paris

contradicting and refuting 
Gertrude's flowery words 
for
a muse is a muse is 

but 
don't 
include 
my Musa

I also agree with Gertrude Stein's poetic rose line. I really think that this, though I've read other stories, justifies Andy Warhol's "coke can"; it means nothing symbolically, it's just a coke can. Thanks Alkas.
