Deliberate Life
Disappointed to say the least
after countless art shows – tracked
interviews – read, loyal subscriber
to the quarterly confident that I could
count the steps
as she closed in on genius.
An Archetype of Art
art as art should be, striking up
in me more life than one could
breed in a womb
I would remind myself,
stagnant in my own. mess. of colors.
Publicly poised dashing a hand about to buyers,
admirers – I saw her at Whitman Gallery
she took leave into the ladies’ room
I followed and
found her snorting off the vanity
I held the door for her.
Frustrated for believing that in the 21st Century
we could reap art from something other than
self-destructive tendencies – my esophagus lost
its length in
one. long. contraction.
At home,
I paint doors
