I
Clouds of dark smoke billowing away
The beginning of nature's decay
The marble freezing within the fray
A brick wall obstructing the pathway
On dry ground shadows forever lay
Waiting for the sun to shine their way…

Italy's Georgio de Chirico
made symbolic paintings you know
He depicted 'what cannot be seen'*
from the mind's eye,it would seem

Cough David Cough
Giorgio smiled as he imagined it
Hanging a bright orange plastic glove next to David’s face
Serves him right for being a god, he thought.
The teacher was peeking over his shoulder.
Asked him about it.
Just something I thought up, he said.
Smirking a bit to himself, understanding the joke.
Quietly worked, chanting “cough David cough”
under his breath, in a low tone.
Smiling at his little joke.
He is fourteen, it’s the way his mind is going.
Another boy gives him a high five under the work table.
Fully understanding.
“Add balls,” the kid coaxes him.
Giorgio adds one, not daring to add two.
“I would make that blue,” the teacher advises.
He meets the other boy’s eye and they burst out in laughter.
A blue ball, how hilarious!
He makes it green, so it is not obvious.

Now move your feet and clap your hands
Step to the right and smoothly flow
Spin around right where you stand
You are now doing the 'chirico'
Move to the left to the music's beat
Slide forward with your feet
Clap your hands and dip down low
You are doing the 'chirico'
Clap your hands and move your feet
Smoothly flow as you step to the right
Spin around then dip down low
You are doing the 'chirico!'
