We Put Things In Our Mouths
A new collection of humorous European poetry from poetic observationalist Rick Lupert, master of the poetic travelogue. Join Rick as he travels through Amsterdam with Rembrandt and Van Gough and discovers his hesitance with the city’s slogan “I Am Amsterdam.” Taste Belgium’s chocolate and beer in the cities of Brussels and Brugge (that’s how THEY spell it.) Stop in to Magritte’s house. Re-visit Paris, its cheese. its Monet, its wild eyed man with a giant toothbrush in Montmartre. Travel through Europe with Rick Lupert as his wife earnestly tries to get the pen away from him. Rediscover your poetic sense of humor…put these poems in your mouth.
Brendan Constantine, Poetry from We Put Things In Our Mouths
In the Van Gough Museum I want to take a photograph
City of tolerance and soup Oh Amsterdam, your homo-monument. Half your people are syrup sweet We think we like you
The Pis Family Tonight in Brussels
I confuse the French word for half
The Swans are Organizing At night we see two swans
Man, could Magritte paint nipples.
Musée des Canards They have a museum
It is hard work looking at art the seemingly out of place steam ship Remembering these details when looking Realizing the similarity then trying to remember the dates Seeing texture and no texture you rarely look at art and The weight of that guilt Deciding to put a painting on your wall as you eat your artless breakfast If this is you Your omelette
