Recently, I've been reading a lot of poetry. Annie Sexton, e.e. cummings, Baudelaire... you get my drift. However while I was reading, for some reason or another, I couldn't get out of my head this painting I saw at the Frankfurt Museum of Modern Art in Germany.

You know, that movie with the talking, fake-looking polar bears...
That's all I'm going to say.
