Howling Coyotes

Living is beating egg whites.
To know love is not to understand hate.

Imagination is reality.
Imagination is reality.
The empty canvas is reality.
White is the color of reality.

I will paint all the walls white.
On the white walls
I will apply white figures
who imagine white things
and fear for the future of clouds.

White is reality.
The empty idea is reality.
White is the color of non-reality.

The dream is a hyperreality.
White dreams on a canvas
which white gets the stains
of a non-existent nightmare.

I will paint walls white.
On the walls
I will apply non-figures
who imagine whiter things
and wait for the future clouds.

But why are people
around us so insistently
wearing white emotions
from head to toe?

All toes are painted in white!

Author's Note
Mental illness ran in Monroe's family; her maternal grandmother killed herself. Her mother (Gladys Eley) was hospitalized in Rockhaven, an upscale sanitarium in California, when Marilyn died. Eley was a devoted, if not obsessive, Christian Scientist. When asked about her famous daughter, Eley reportedly said: “I have never heard of Marilyn Monroe.”
