When the papier-mâché devil moves its arms
to fondle the breasts of the papier-mâché girl,
for Diego, it is like the peasant with his bedroll
when the papier-mâché devil moves its arms:
there is no difference, because each performs
what each is, just like figures in Diego’s murals
when the papier-mâché devil moves its arms
to fondle the breasts of the papier-mâché girl.
