Sense Sonnet - Pumper

On Loan

Ed Ruscha's painting, "I Think I'll..."
Is of a sunset in fire red
Streaked with a popsicle orange style,
Upon which some words do embed.
There's "wait a minute" and there's "yet."
There's "maybe yes." There's "maybe no."
Does this mean indecisive fret?
Or something never meant to know?
A blaze of illumination
Around words that we always use
In all sorts of variation
To clarify or to confuse.

In the White House this art does hang,
Reminding of the yin and yang.
