Rorschach on a Print
from John Cage
 

Edge of a saltine
leaves trail lines in     peanut
butter, the furrowed     eggplant
brush stroke on grocery-sack
brown paper.
 
Rain falls on the rooftop,
there in the dark purple daubs
mushrooms     growing     violet
grey in garden streaks.
A creaking piano bench
postmarked like a stamp,
chamber winds blowing
outside, there in vague     lilac
smudges.
 
Yarrow     sticks emerge
from the print, antennas
tuning in radio static
coughing in the audience
water     applauding a stone.
