		we stare at paintings of people all the time 
especially if they're monsters 
Genghis Kahn with blood down his bib 
a modern art piece with Myra Hindley 
composed from black and white children's handprints 
or tragic souls like Princess Di 
beside a message scrawled in red

PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
