Uncle History has always loved Kurt Schwitters
Who was known as “Stinky” by his friends
For he gathered refuse from the gutter
Roquefort wrappers and such
And from these he made collages
Mandalas of aleatoric beauty
What should History love more?
Even in tidy Vienna
You find false teeth
Lodged at storm drains
Human beings and angels
Throw things away
Which gives Uncle
What is commonly known as
“The giggles…”
