I bought a statue from a fire sale the other day
|
||
|
|
from the house down the street that went up in flames
|
||
|
|
because my friends always scream about taking life by the reins
|
||
|
|
and nothing really happened on my birthday anyways
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I've finally learned how to draw
|
||
|
|
with the statue in front of the window, greeting guests
|
||
|
|
who knock on my door, memories in hand
|
||
|
|
from long ago, seeking immortality in portrait
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the cold marble provides a great companion
|
||
|
|
as those who linger pose in place
|
||
|
|
behind the easel, the pencil flies all on its own
|
||
|
|
on the subject, feet twitch, begging to pace
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
the paper shakes my soul with sanity
|
||
|
|
but to others, I seem insane
|
||
|
|
how dare I call myself "artist" and live
|
||
|
|
without the empty stomach to qualify my name
|
