THE INDUSTRIAL MAN

Sculpture Project - Morphology

 

 

Well, let's analyze it; curly hair, straight, wavy?

He has many preoccupations,

Responsibilities, money, frustrations
(hair next to none!)

His trousers should be pressed

Oh, yes! what would the neighbors say!

Grubby! Abandoned! Ordinary! Oppressed!
What face or expression shall we give him?

None! And what now! He's anonymous.

Folks, we are not having you on!

He's tall, middling high, or short?

It would be better if he were short

Sot that he would accommodate better in his flat, or in his car.
Does he have sharp or sensitive hearing?

He has to put up with a thousand sounds

traffic, machines, noise; Wasting away!
Fine, we have come to his shoes, and

where is your imagination,

It doesn't matter-whatever publicity demands of him.
Will the torso be... athletic, normal, vigorous? 

The life has given him many beatings 

and it is tired and conquered; something humped

And what about the shirt, or he'd be happy without it?

He's a great slave to commodity

Poise is measure and realization can he find it?
And his arms, in what position? ...

Hanging by the side of his body

Representing interest... NO!
Gold, silver, marble, bronze... which material?

None of these, they are noble materials,

more appropriate would be artificial stone!
His stomach will be fat, or fat?

He eats too quickly and too much; excessive fat

nothing normal, every thing exaggerated!
...And what color do you think more appropriate?

I... I... I... I think that... gray, YES!

Gray, gray, gray... that's it!
His behind sticks out? or in? or is flat?

He's not athletic; passes too much time sitting down

at work, in the car, watching TV make him light footed!
Can you see what is born? I'm breathless!

I feel shame, and an immense sadness

And you should feel it too!
His legs move?

No way! They suggest initiative; still as stone

waiting to be asked to move.
Goodness, what a feeble reply,

Give up larking around... and

Finish it once and for all... I need thousands.
