acrylic
60″x40″ canvas
with more violet orchard magenta
than meets the camera
i realize
so close to disaster sits magnificance.
i realize
I’m a surgeon
with a paint brush.
Some patients are goners
before even seeing me.
Some have all the potential
in the world;
1second the performance
romantic and visceral…
with mental gibber accolading oneself to floods.
the next
flat lines
and not the good flat lines either
Maybe I went too far.
But I know far is where the good stuff is.
Problem is
so is that really really bad
stuff too.
