When Hockney curtsies The Queen

When words trace pictures
      and pictures hear colours
           and colours bleed moments
                and moments project music
                      and music believes dancing
                             and dancing explodes camera
      and camera grips kaleidoscope
            and kaleidoscope breathes melody
                  and melody tastes like birds
                        and birds dream in pigment
                               and pigment feels up Hockney
                                     and Hockney curtsies the Queen  
             and the Queen draws tarot cards
                    and tarot cards gather stories
                           and stories connect people
                                 and people scribble words
                                        and people shout words
                                              and they scream the words
                                                    and they censor them
                                                          and eat them
                                                                and silence
the words
the words trace
the words trace pictures
