“He (Warhol) invited her to accompany him and his assistant, Gerard Malanga, to France for the opening of his Flowers exhibition. They arrived on April 30, Edie in T-shirt, tights, and a white mink coat, and carrying a small suitcase containing, to Andy’s delight, a single item: a second white mink coat.”

NOTHING

Something is but nothing
Something it is not
Nil plus nil is nothing
Nothings what I got
Nothing on the tele
Nothing going on
Nothing to get worked up about
Nothing by the ton
Nothing times a million
Nothing minus ten
Don’t say nothing to no one
It’s nothing to do with them
Come all the way from nowhere
And now I’m nowhere else
Where nothing is out of place
No one lives
And nothing smells
Talking to no one
It’s like talking to the wall
I give you what I get
I give you bugger all.
