A Hipper Hopper Threaded With Vermeer

Girl At Sewing Machine Edward Hopper (1921) + The Lacemaker Johannes Vermeer (1669) _____________________________________________________________________________________

Vermeer's girl is making lace
The other's hair covers her face
Its color is all over the place

Both have light
Coming from the right

Both girls you see
Thread with intensity

Vermeer's background
Is as plain as day
Hopper's background
Has a slanting shady way

Both have pillows
In the forground
Both have something
Small and round:
The machine wheel
And the finial...

The lacemaker's dress
Is a mighty yellow
Does Hopper use the color?
Please don't say No
(It's outside the window!)

Hopper's little trick:
He used yellow brick

The sewing machine girl
Is from a hipper Hopper
If these verses are sculpted
by a smart, hip rapper.

Just keep the beat
Clean and clear
Out of respect
For classic Vermeer
