Two Mornings in Amsterdam (1) Lost Soles

A Lot of People Wanted
To Be in his Shoes.
Rob Scholte (36)
The Great White Hope
Of the Dutch Art
Scene, A Home Grown
Jeff Koons
Handsome and Bold
Decadicly Scrumptious
A Kitschy, Quirky Intense Talent
I Thought
When Translating his
Pleonastic Catalog for the
Venice Biennale
A Few Years Ago.
Since Then
He Bounced Between
Global Commissions
Cocooned as an Art Celebrity
With Money, Women, Villas
and Cars.

One Rainy Morning in November
He Slid into his BMW
Parked on A Side Street in
Amsterdam S
Fashionable Jordaan District
Twisted the Key in the Ignition
Switch of the Vehicle and A Split
Second Later There was an Explosion
Car Bombed by A Crafty Critic
His Lithe Young Blond
Ex Model Companion
Suffered Only Minor
Cuts and Bruises
From This Grenade Serenade
At the Bottom of
Every Piece of IIl Luck
There S the Wrong Choice
The Slip of the Will
Opening the Door
To Disaster
Rob Scholte Always Big
Is Smaller Now
He Can Still Paint
His Eyes and Hands are Intact
But he Lost Both Legs Below
The Knee, Aesthetically Brought
Down A Couple of Pegs by Harsh Art
With A, Hidden Agenda
Shoes for Scholte Committee
There were Smashed and Charred
Automobile
Was Placed on Exhibition
In A Gallery
Unsigned
Radical Read Applauded

Brutus’ Razor Sharp Kritkos
Wished
They D Stuck Kit Marlow in the Eye
Volunteered
For Dostojevski S Firing Squad
Masturbated
To Fantasies of Pickaxing Trotsky
Groveled
In Benediction to Lick
Blood from the Boot that Kicked Pasolini
Saluted
Khomeni S Rushdie to Judgement
Dynamited
The Greenwich Meridian to Stop Time
Kidnapped
The Standard Meter Demanding
Restoration of the Sacred Measures
Gassed
The Anne Frank House
Expectorating Guilt
The Scholte Affair
Seems to Be Part of this Trend
Next March on A Morning in Milan
An Elegantly Dressed
Fundamentalist Footwear Phobe
Made an Extremist
Fashion Statement
Taking Merrit Oppenheim S
Shoe Work
Trussed Up Heels
Looking like Sides of Beef
One Step Further
He Shot Maurizio Gucci
In the Face Three Times
Then Quietly Walked Away
Assuming the Stance
Of the Anarchist
in Conrad S Story
Of the Same Name

“I Deny Nothing!”
