The remarkable art of the late Tony Price
There's something worthy and heartwarming
in the unlikely bohemian tale
of this globetrotting New Mexico hippie, tirelessly
raiding nuclear junkpiles to create his kachina art.
The relentless "logic" of the nuclear arms race, versus
the New Age posturings of this artsy peacenik...
It's like watching some lean, shivering coyote
trailing a stainless-steel mastodon a thousand times his size...
and then, at the last, when he's toothless and
in his own last days, he finally gums its shining steel bones.
