Red Ink Swab for Waterman

A red ink swab can't wrestle a cheetah to the ground.
But maybe, just maybe, if that were depicted on a canvas,
no one would get hurt. Pleasant payments would be
made, like in the form of money to live on and so forth
for the depiction of the slaughter in real time, in paint.
A fantasy at a fancy dinner is like that. A cheetah will dissolve,
once attacked. Its flecked hide dusty in the sun. And the
flies. So many of them. An open eye is a landing zone.
It's red, what else matters?
