Monologue

-- To “The Embrace No. IV” painted by Matisse (1943)

 

While I serve you in a dark room

You say whatever you say to me

Yeah, aren’t you doing the same thing to me

As a 3rd person, this conversation is lots of fun too

 

Note on the Muse:

Matisse's embrace easily seen as if about 2 persons, and

instead, it looks like one person embracing. Funny, huh?
