The problem with art 

is there is no answer

It’s just a bag of questions

in a body of knowing

how not to know

In a world of needing to know

where the knowing comes from

and what its purpose is


The problem with art

is it fits between frames

not neatly in them

In a variety of frameworks

and  when viewers look

they put it in the frame

of their own intention

and skew the meaning

What’s harmed is the judgement

That comes with critical eyes

and careless mouths

so that everyone knows

the outcome of making

is judgment

and that’s too much

to keep people from participating


The problem with art

Is that it’s as easy as breathing

and as cumbersome as death

and it lives in the space in between

Only the brave come to play

because to play you play without armor

and you’re almost certainly 

get damaged in the process

and yet the reality is that

it’s the only way to heal
