Henri Matisse — Blue Nudes (various) (1952)

There’s smugness in your face
Undeniably born with a silver spoon
A Matisse in your playroom
We all know you’re a trust fund baby
The Parisian arts on the stairwell walls
Tasteful antiques in the living room
Old masters drawings that stare at me while I gaze at it, observing every detail of every masterpiece
One art would pay off all my debts and would send me to college
All the trophy of your grandfather’s safari hunts…
