9/11
This picture's frame is especially good
In its simulation of half-charred wood.
The daub itself was at once rejected -
Exactly as I should have expected.
The hanging committee wouldn't have 'maybes'.
Would you like a scene with falling babies?
The trade centre framework inspired me most,
Its skeleton the building's ghost.
And remember the cascade of sheets of A4?
Each one was inscribed with the prophecy - WAR!
Cassandra continues with the mosque in crisis,
And the fiery split which gave birth to ISIS.
Painted in 2005 - too early and too late.
