Montmartre
Souvenir oils
render Parisian scenes
A wide boulevard
is trod by giants
City landmarks
look strangely out of joint,
too big or tiny
to reside as shown
Shops right and left
with unmatched dimensions
and random shadows
as if from two suns
Souvenir oils
painted by many hands
Brought home in checked bags
then proudly displayed
