III. Modigliani

We learn of the exhibit on an ad in the subway. He’s never been

to the Jewish Museum. (Something yet

undiscovered by the native New Yorker.)

At the entrance, bags inspected.

(Are they looking for guns? Someone sneaking in pastrami?)

The steady line heads for the second floor.

A story unfolds.

Modigliani was an Italian Jew,

suffered an unsung master’s demise,

died young,

impoverished, undiscovered.

Today, anyone may have instant fame.

But the number of geniuses is the same

any given time.

maybe five.
