edward hopper paints one for me

forget those nighthawks in 1942

(ten years before me anyway)

late night diner people

with such neat hats

and such red dresses

and the light

and the dark

just so wonderful

they are all clichés now

i want something

more postmodern that answers

a question like this:

how do we know

what we know

and when will we know

that we know it?

put some light and dark

on that one mister hopper

next
