Portrait of a Soul on Standby

As I sat down to drink a cup of oolong tea on a couch by Vermeer

and considered the consequences related to losing a lifetime of unlimited
access to a God created in the image of a Plasticine clock

I was flattened

and left to distinguish the two-dimensional from the mirror

Lucian Freud looked into when he said, what could be more surreal than a nose
between two eyes?
