Anthropomorphic Abstractions And Postminimalist Public Art

              Metal Sculptures created by Greg Wasil inhabit his yard in Lakewood, Colorado

Flavin was the mailroom type
Who liked to create with fluorescent lights
Smithson looked like he was playing in the dirt
What he actually did was manipulate the Earth
Reflected in Moore's undulating forms
Are the hills of Yorshire where he was born
Flying through a windshield as someone drove too fast 
Didn't deter Chihuly from working with glass
Assembling puzzles of wood and stuff she found 
Made Nevelson's work look like she was monkeying around
Bell's ghost boxes led him to look quite dapper
Got his face in the crowd on the cover of Sgt Pepper
The simplicity of her work revealed
Truitt romped through the color field
Rooms without a view
Gave Irwin something to do
Steel plate, bolts and I-beams
Gave Caro a means to express his dreams 
By a hare Flanagan was amused
to the point it was all he ever used
The Vatican liked Pomodoro's Sphere
Greenwood Village did too so they brought one over here
Rickey fell into a peculiar groove
He liked to make things that could move
As Mr. Calder did
Though his were supposed to be representative of the id
