The Mag 136 - Who Am I

Welcome to another post for

THE MAG

WHO AM I

Once upon a field trip, students were asked- “What was David Salle, the artist thinking, or more importantly what all did he paint within his creation of Flying down?”

Without hesitation one student replied,

If my eyes aren’t deceiving me

I see and feel before me

All shook up

Almost wickedly under a dense canopy of stars there glides a plane

Carrying someone he loves and he's singing

Always, on my mind.

and diamond studs are shining from his white jumpsuit

 He's ever so Charmingly painting upon his easel not one fool

or ghoul so

 Don’t be cruel

Just hear it in the wind- this is

The King of Rock and Roll

Oh yes it is!

He’s just lost his Blue Suede shoes so never you mind!

Even after The King is gone we'll be feeling

All shook up!

Appreciating her student's comment she quickly asked the others, "Does anyone else see this too?"

This is only a portion of the painting "Flying Down" by David Salle
