MARILYN MONROE DIES; PILLS BLAMED



silver (screen) poisoning // skin bleached by pop toxins
Warhol injected direct into the veins

the only blonde in the world
100% chemical on cryogenic canvas
supergelatinous acrylic midnight

plastic autopsies & ekphrastic obituaries
on thoroughly modern kitchenettes
crucible-eyes on the kitsch-hunt
popism // stop drop & shopism
if you too want to be bleached in deluxe AmericaTM

paparazzi pulsars emitting radiation publicising
their nuclear age bombshell // facsimile stasis
face that could launch a thousand bomber planes
over Hollywood // presidential wet dreams

Museum of Modern Marilyns (MoMM)
