Anticonic

Not iconoclastic,
Not smashing anything,
Pulling down old idols,

Defacing portraiture,
Melting stained-glass windows,
Breaking statues’ noses,

None of that. Not about
To make more images,
That’s all. We know you want

A world to spring to life
In your head reading us.
Denied. We’re not painting

A picture for you, see?
Imagine this yourself.
