last month, i came across "Tuesday Poem" - a web initiative of poets who all try to post own and/or other poems on Tuesdays (here's more: Tuesday Poem). i think i will follow this timing for a while, and revisit poems, maybe even revise, and put one online here each tuesday.

the one above is from 2010, inspired by visiting the multimedia exhibition "Changing Channels" in Vienna, and by a poem by Daniela Elza: "Andy Warhol" (Vancouver 2004). some of Warhol's work also was featured in the Vienna exhibition, here's a note about it: andy warhol Mumok, Vienna.

an earlier version of this poem was published in Blue&Yellow Dog.
