'Spectator' by Chales Simic, which I read surreptitiously one day at exactly 11 A.M.

The ideal spectator who lives only for art,
hands folded behind his back.  A blank canvas
appropriately entitled "Blank" before him.  It's exact-
ly 11 A.M. in the provincial museum.  One can hear
the rumbling stomach of the uniformed guard, who
has the face of someone drowned by moonlight.
