Matisse and Lorette
Tea and sketches were only Foreplay for paint and color
Matisse the bespeckled gentleman chaste always Tie straight and shirt buttoned high Right up to his stiff collar
Consummation for he and her were Measured in proper brush strokes
She looks out from of his paintings Wearing the opulence of sin
Then fades almost to obscurity Never leaving the sordid gossip Of odalisques and loose women.
