modern (c word, content)

[billy]

Personally I'd line it out differently. Maybe cut it some like

can art
condensed cream
(congealed) tomato ( not sure about the use of trope)...

Of course of this I can da loose it. Seems a better title would be "being a modern can". Does seem like a mixture of Warhol (mainly) and a dab of Tom Robbins, but I really have no idea what this is suppose to be saying, or what image it is suppose to engender in the reader.

Overall it seems satirical, I'm just not sure what it is satirizing....or not.

Is posterised suppose to be posturised, or is it a play on the word poster. If the second I would write it poster-ized so as to avoid confusion.

If this is mainly about Warhol, maybe a title to reflect that, otherwise it makes it a bit obscure.

it's poster-ised. and i see your point re the title.
i was a snipe at the lack of imagery in the likes of warhol's work , how it lacks originality (though many will disagree with me, we did all that stuff in borstal) though of course i never intentionally intended for the poem to be as you saw it. it sort of fits in with what i think about pop and poster art in general. i definitely sort the title out a little later.
thanks for the feedback.
