Magritte on Owls

Imagination is simply zero
and nothing more
to cramped fingers
working hogshead bristles
over stretched canvas
and intellect straining syntax
into poesie al olio. Meaning
rests
in having no meaning
and no place to go
dressed in upright bourgeois attire
with bottles of pinot noir.
An owl's face is a clock
with no hands
