For Jim



                                            "I was trying to help
                                             That's all.
   The noble savage at the museum.           To knock that bird away
   Headlong he dashes                        From that man.
   Throwing himself against                  It ain't a fair fight
   Rubens' Prometheus                        When you're held down--
   Where it hangs.                           And he's chained
   Guards rush forward;                      To that rock
   It's a shock to all.                      With that bird pickin' at him.
   Apprehended:                              That man needs help.
                                             Let go of me.
                                             Somebody cut him loose!
                                             Somebody set him free!"



30 August 1983, Philadelphia Art Museum
