Since we're on the topic today...
It occurred to me that
Luis Barragan takes
the controversy out
of Pink
forever
No! his architecture says
real men do live here
these muscular volumes
crash into each other
not as giddy playmates
in the schoolyard
or gossiping neighbors
garishly clad
in Latin fifties
fashions
Discipline, austerity, and
rigor
he tells us is not
bloodless
Modernism he tells us is not
a hell of grey
His modernism plays as hard as it works
it has wit but makes
no jokes
It is fecund with
sensuality
it means its
place in the
world
Well said Franco! Pink is not just for pussy cats!
