art, artists, us, them

you and i

we know

the beauty

the silver sharp whistle

of a work created

never reviewed

or valued

with sticker

or cheque

 

you and i

we know

the clear, blue

monday morning

birds singing

the beauty of pennys

picked off the pavment

 

we feel the echo's

footsteps light on our dreams

of the others

the many

many

others

 

and of course

the stomp of the hustlers

the careerists,

groupies

 

the feeders

too

 

cruel bastards yes

but necessary

 

for me

 

for you

 

as together

we claw our way through

this unberably

neutral

world.
