creativity 8/4/19

creativity may be an audience term 

as part of their in-house perspective.

audience never takes a day off,

possibly not even hours off

for their privatization of solace.

novelty appears to be as helping-hands

to feed those nerve endings 

that live on the aftertaste of oddity,

uniqueness perceived 

or permutations of sameness modified.

creativity is so upstanding

as if saluted for its standing out.

but each person, in their own intimacy,

is creativity expressing.

maybe not evidential enough

to have the consciousness of regard

but like a held stick

carving in beach sand,

each person is creating 

without said audience of approval

other than they of themselves 

in all consciousness abiding.

framing is so much of the delivery

as if notice needed a consort, 

maybe an entourage,

a ritual of forma-ta-bility,

or maybe lives of muddle-dom  

to secure the rituals of authorization. 

for creativity to be regaled, 

aren’t we alway and ever both,

without the harassment of depiction and titles?

creative exists without audience.

each of us is that,

before self-consciousness, entered the room . . .
