[Realpoetik] ANNIE WON

[RealPoetik Magazine]

a man is playing the moonlight sonata on the piano




there isn't really moonlight. the man has a grey

crayon and has drawn it all over the canvas

everything muddy. you can't really see anything because

it's dark. moonlight is pretty dim.

several years pass. the man continues until the entire canvas is

uniform grey. then he begins to cry. it is so sad,

he says. the brine beads off the cloth.

he has used an entire box of kleenex.

his crayon is a stub glued to the bottom of his hand.

this is my greatest masterpiece, he says.
