The picture on the parlor wall
The picture on the parlor wall
Is dishevelled and dramatic
It's sullen bronzing ornate frame
Belies something problematic
The imagery is deafening
The figure stands enigmatic
The scenery bereft of life
Is staunch and proudly Pragmatic
The figures eyes are dark and blank
With a mindset automatic
As she follows you around the scene
Her body remains static
The picture on the parlor wall
Sees all
