your grandstanding is based on a misunderstanding


“most of you know me, can you blame her?” – Arthur

 

art is a cart

without a hitch or horse

with chipped paint

and a broken sideboard

still trying to be beautiful

 

it is the self-expression

of an unfurnished house

or one that never sold

and now it is in such

a state of disrepair

it is slated for demolition

 

it is a festering feeling

not a manifesto

a piece of the artist

 

either you can relate

or you don’t

not all pieces fit

the same puzzle

and not every house

can be made into a home

 

but art is where artists roam

and leave evidence

of themselves behind

 

not a definition

just a petition

that whatever you perceive

while you view their expression

do not forget

amid your aggression

 

it is the artist you reject

when you criticize their art

 

***
