Some have vision, architectural features caught
by the student lens
of an eye. Walking the streets of a major place
like Chicago or Vienna.
A quick sketch of 'urban outdoors'
taking in a grassy knoll
a spot where grand things happen
and the spirit of history.
Like you or me, not needing the cachet
of a bohemian
of a prole let loose with grudges
letting the flick
letting the point of a pencil
mark the edges
of hard stone onto portfolio pad
just change a world
seen bitterly wrong because it angers you
subvocalizing first
building it all in short, sharp phrases
a voice of vinegar and piss.
.
Clever - an example of itself!
ReplyDeleteRosemary,
ReplyDeleteThank you!
I hate to think that anything I write shares some of the 'juice' that all unknown artists have -- including the young Adolf Hitler whose painted sketch Google states I've been able to upload for the benefit of this poetry entry of mine.
But. You may have met folks as I have. Lonely. Ego utterly linked to the art they do which not many -- or any -- seem to think much of.
Add political contention to that, and voila! Nihilism, camps, war.
Here's to our better side!
