With hankering for angelic sophistication,
Michelangelo lets hammer/chisel fly
and chips ricochet top to bottom
It shall, this slab of marble conform or be junked,
from whence a hunk emerges soon enough
of man as never seen before
or ever to be surpassed again
David, shepherd boy, resplendently jock,
Adam Florentine, no sign of fig leaf hanging anywhere
The perfect piece of marble sculpt
except for two small details;
hands too big for his torso,
and a penis uncircumcised
In other words, the pepperoni is not kosher,
but should it matter really? It's art, we're talking people!
Not biblical correctness
