Decoupaging Poems | Examples

Underground Art Montmartre

soak up the side streets of Montmartre, 
Paris, 	Pigalle on Boulevard de Clichy
class less 	art combusts	then drips 

- street beggars & tourists cant

writer Rubbish pastes   lace traceries
ala mode 	decoupaging decay 	
his cut-paper layers	grace	   anoint		
no longer anonymous		walls

stencilist C215’s “simply a cat”
defies sourpusses not to smile—see
heaven		art 	yes art  with style 

the banality of poverty held at bay
pureed	souffléd	life wolfed-down
colors synced 

spray-cannoned Lothario’s like David Walker
entrance	Picasso’s on the brink, 
Romani-hearted paint peddlers 
of the Republique

- street beggars & tourists cant

Thom Thom’s décollage 	rip-cuts 
the billboard scene	titillates	the unseen
—culture-lovers—can-canned Lautrec’s 
bedded with Che Guevara politics 

come tilt with the masse
	come play your part
in Montmartre 
near Pigalle on Boulevard de Clichy
where wicked pissers 	defy
cliché
