Inscribed, in pencil, lower left: 6/95 Inscribed, with date of original drawing, in pencil, lower right: 78 Inscribed, in artist's hand, on plate, center: Oh God, make me find a style | I can't find a style | an original style. Oh God: make me find one. | The critics are confounded | and my mind is all so blinded. | I roam the fancy and break my head | but no style seems | to lie ahead. | Now I'm going to go down in History | as an uncertain creep | while all the others sell | and sharpen their beeb. | Why can't I be original? | Why can't I be clear-cut? | I'm always so subliminal | and all I do is doubt
