Sparks says this show features geniuses only!
Come one come all y'all to gawk at their works:

whose stalagmites elude portrayal
but for the smudgen empyrean
fibrous by seat of their cohort--
ashtray w/ suspenders unwrinkled
a pile of glazier-thin feuilles fatales
flurry of homosocial g.w.ps

twins peer at the heart in thir pants
weeping fruitier and downreaching espalier
a nacorn an urn unhectorized
gutterclouds inform an architecture
its mouth a painted hare or rabbitt
atop an accretion of realnesses.

how do you value a painting? by its
pearlescent gummery centre. can
a beercan grow a thing. potteryhound
helmet from hellsdeep chainworks the
neolyth clawfoot cum eagle arm--
tender clips of the fan, snakely

beads reveal sculptoraly or by
erasure the ponderous red creature.
