Modigliani's Model

From my book of poems, The Flying Unibrow

Modigliani

Searched  nook and cranny

Looking for the perfect model.

An  emotional wreck at full throttle.

He took his search
Through zoo and  church
On a very long trek
For an elongated neck.

Stifling an hysterical laugh

His feverish quest cut in half
Modigliani
Painted a giraffe.
