Jasper Johns, Flag, 1967
SPIN
Paint me a patriot
Act like a flag
Flat sprawled
By brush
It's stripes and stars
All daubs upon
Newsprint
Blurred underneath
Symbolically pressed
Out, all smudge
Is this what we have
Come to be
A country furled across
Its fifth estate
Flapped taut
All words awash
In ministries
Of truth spelled
F E A R
Felt.
Viewed at Broad Museum of Contemporary Art at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).
