Sonnet (in Brueghel)
by Ryan Gallagher

In Matthew Mark Luke and
John, Jesus Christ found his
first disciple among the fish-
ermen (in Brueghel) he looks

like Alice Cooper in a red robe
he looks like a miracle worker
(in Brueghel)  he looks towards
Icarus he looks like a freak

show and falls like a yellow
flag (in Brueghel) he freaks
out the fishermen (in Brueghel) he
falls among the yellow flags as Alice

Cooper freaks (in Brueghel) he falls
under the yellow miracle of Icarus
