When Paul Cezanne sat down to paint a flower or a face 
   A                                 B
He had to solve one problem, three-dimensional space

He said, "Form is content." He smoked a Gitanne.

So we loaded up her bed and we took her up to MoMA

We got through the door, you wouldn't believe what began
