Mellifluous Lyrical Calliope

la cage aux folles viz birds of a feather did come of age
anchorage of light metal collage shimmering with glints o beige
transmutations delivered delicious spectacular airy cage
pin trussed exhibit proffered joyous scenes to gauge
embossed amidst collage a regal montage exhorting page
gin nation wrought convergence via copper toned rage
ging visual cacophony playing homage per lens crafting sage
sans eminence grise blinded lest increase in minimum wage
nut, chains and bolts assuming elm ment tree almonds
illuminated imagination easel lee with cornucopia of bends
evincing kaleidoscopic shape shifting patterns re: depends?
through hodgepodge of metallic odds and off ends
artwork rent with cogs n wheels meshed crystal pronounced gerunds
unintentional Rorschach test John Vega pieced together – hours times tens
to complete metallica decoupage resounding with sexual symbols tools
especially the central convergence with triangular blackened barbules

John Vega
“the mesh of raised and smoothed images (pertaining to the artwork of John Vega) brought to my mind a stationary carousel of sorts. yet, upon intent gaze, the details seemed to rearrange themselves. ever so faintly could these XLVI year old ears discern a musical accompaniment.” — Matthew
