TALKING TO DONATELLO

Davis W. Morton / 2006 / oil on canvas / 24 X 32 inches

“Screaming Mike” … who was he?

A crazy man no doubt

But what’s crazier…

Sending him to Viet Nam

Or him yelling at imaginary people

Are we so sane?

Like Mike we'll all end up

On our own street

When we face our own survival

Then all those "awesome movies"

Won't seem so awesome anymore

And all those medals that we've won

Will be just buttons with no holes
