Art and Not Art
Art neither allows
Nor prohibits.
Art is not the opposite of life
Except at certain exhibits.
Art (some art)
Plays too many games.
Art is not the enemy of freedom,
Despite its frames.
Art is beyond
Or below or above.
Art is not blind—
You’ve confused it with love.
Art at times
Appears to be blushing.
Art is not art
When it alters nothing.
Art is a wound,
A crooked cut, a contusion.
Art is not the artist,
A pardonable confusion.
Art has led
Many artists to drink.
Art isn’t quite what you think it is,
No matter what you think.
