Painting
is laying
on a pillow size canvas your dream
universe of bloated human desires     everyday
I see nonsensical lines    swelling in this unknown
chaos     make sense     make an equilibrium   a balance
of our messy spiritual orientation    make beauty
                                                         of difference
expressionism     my way
of tying the loose ends       make do
today I cracked the moarse code
tomorrow I question
does the world need this


the ultimate goal of the artist is to give in
                                                               give in
to our deepest truest   most honest expressions
remain humble    of this earth
art cannot speak to the masses  
if the artist is      speaking
what I wish to convey to the audience
take a look     perhaps that voice
                                         in you   in us    will
recognize a reflection
of the self


in my attempt to connect art and life
in response to the demands of our time
i’ve come to think    hey    
                                       really
there is no crisis        
           facing humanity


we are               ongoing                 creation
