art doesn't know itself 11/14/11

Art is a nameless,

faceless volunteer

for the human mind's

victimless crime of " frame".

Art,

having no self-consciousness,

passively models ensembles

of meaningfulness.

Innocent Matter,

embarrassed about doing impressions,

pleads with man;

"please don't make me do art".

But no, it's art,

costumed for the hunt,

leaving a simplistic trail

for cowardly dogged

explanations to follow!

Everyone basically claims

to be art's illegitimate father

by their perspective a such.

It's the disease of documentation

that evokes

such exaggerated blood ties.

Why don't we, just for once,

give our retentive minds

to a Macy's type

of helium filled dirigibles

on parade

then cut these arty thoughts free?

After all, art is not in the likeness

of toddlers to mittens

nor neck-around nametags.

Is the eventual demise of art

that there is nothing left to frame

or no place else to put it?

And then is that

solemnly followed

by the final renaissance

of all art:

as the re-interpretation

of everything!

Ah yes, "a toast". . .

"to art,

the un-aging cosmetologist

for the human mind”!

But, just between you and me,

admit it, really,

art doesn't know itself . . .
