                       I was in Musee d'Orsay by
                   Daumier's interpretation of Don
                     Quixote finding a deceased
                                      donkey.

                      It reminds one of a cigarette
                      advertisement, the ***, with
                     his tongue out, gasping for a
                    breath of air with emphysema.
                     Marlboro Man comes to mind.

                  In silhouette, as Cervantes pair
                 this lonesome rider from the sun
                              made his arrival.

                   Smoke signals on yonder hill
                     a warning read, like some
                  unwanted poster 'Live or Dead.



ps.

Rosinante was a free spirit,
no reins, it is a metaphor
for Socialism
