OF DOUGLAS GORDON
for you, but it’s probably important for me to
disrupt the architecture
of my idea. Of the museum
up now I think around,
guaranteed a souvenir that was going thru a process.
Life, with
a diaper in the dark.
Svelte, when I was not.
Goings
of art are so time-based,
retell a joke that’s extremely funny—-
down for the future.
Other way open: your mouth,
now!

Initially drafted during a live interview with this Scottish artist (born
1966, Glasgow) but delayed because of continuing dissatisfaction with the
second acrostic sonnet. In the interim, much to my surprise, my source has
become available online (http://smithsonian.tv/videos/hirshhorn/gordon/),
so now I'm presented with a rare possibility of revision. My governing
assumption/stimulation has been that I have one shot at the source material
and then it's gone forever (or too much trouble to retrieve).
