The Artist Known Only As Banksy

______________________________________________________________________________________

Is he descended
from a hobo
who scribbled
his way to Soho
kissing Dame
Fortunato

en route to HBO

There is a rumor
Banksy has a tumor
bloated with naught
but a sense of humor

 
One toke
two toke
three toke...

But some folk
don't get the joke

Regarding other Banksy work
think not the artist as a jerk

Some eyes are keen
some eyes are keener
think now of  Brangelina

At an auction
with no one fainting
they paid $1 million
for a Banksy painting

Graffiti art? Street art?

Art for the artless?

Punk art creating madness? 

Ephemeral art creating gladness?

Piss art?
Fart art?

That is not a guerrilla!

Political pablum...
Is he selling an album?

How many wrongs
How many rights?

Banksy googled =
20 million websites.

To avoid your aesthetic indigestion:
I will pose no other question

But will state with presumption
Cuz I got the gumption...

Hold the wisky. Hold the whine
Just give me wata...

Banksy is the figurehead
of Modern Dada

He is the street-level champ:
The Godchild of Duchamp

Marcel Duchamp
(1919)

Not all
was brick wall

When art had true history
but a mere mustache
created mystery

Birthing
Surrealist History
and art world hysteria

The subconscious would never recover
If–instantly–this face
had been painted over  


...Day ten...Day fifteen...Day twenty-tude...
Banksy-ism is 2  b continued...

But it behooves me to talk directly to the HBO and/or Banksy braintrust:
Yes sir! Yes ma'am! Yes I can: I wanna be your promo man!

I will now allow the  Rolling Stones to enhance my resume
and give you the opportunity to view
original images of  Mona Lisa.
