Artists are

posers

observers

starers

puppets that move in the same few directions

over and over again

in order to create something that makes

your mind

go in every direction

they see everything

from their table stand

to buy or sell

that is the question

to create

or hallucinate

imagining that you are a part

of society just because

you’re in it

contributing nothing

could be okay

but

an artist

gives

don’t buy

sell

adorn your hell

make it pretty

with your desires and wondrous thoughts of possibility

live in a paradise of intentions

reflected from pieces of art

the intention to love

the intention to grow

the intention to stand upside down

and live in a different world this way

be more beautiful

than anything you’ve seen

this side of illuminated

if you only imagine

you cannot create

then there will be nothing

when you are gone

and no one will remember you

as if you never existed

you were merely put into existence

move your paint

your ink

your arms

your instruments

life must evaporate

to show that it’s renewable

durable

consistent

persistent

of value

sweat it out

excrete your desires on canvas

if you have to

squeeze out your soul

eliminate

your impossibilities
