There’s in a [Frank] Stella hue
Sometimes hard line,
Or edge; some Op seems in there too.
He’s designin’
Straight and curved linin’.

They say that he can’t stand
What Jack’s[1] layin’ down:
Expressions abstractly;
Frank reacted, went flatter, then found
He could more mellow do
The artist’s line,
Fine line.

See him do
Stephen, too,
With a crew [2]
That all drew near Steve’s brow.
Some worked on his hair
And it is funny
To see now
New Steven.

It was a stellar crew. . .
Quite Frankly, fine.
