That Hall's run by a one-armed goldbeater who keeps his treasure in this world, where moths & thieves & poets play, who applauds each time you turn back to its exhibits, to the ordinary places they're housed in-- those roadside chapels, the makeshift cairns beside the tracks, memorials to outlaws & saints jury-rigged out of lilies & rusted six-shooters .
Deep Image Hall of Fame by Wagenaar, Mark / West Branch
