The White Wood
July 2, 2010
The crowds scuttle in to gaze,
open eyed and open mouthed,
At the white pieces of wood
Or the dot on the blank canvas.
But WHY?
A piece of blank piece of wood could be used in so many useful ways.
Hanging on a wall is not one of them.
However, I am wrong to let that slip.
(I don’t get it -- that is insignificant to the rest of the world.)
It is art.
It is significant.
It moves someone.
But not me.
I would rather watch the white wooden fan
Shooting shadows across the corners of the ceiling
When anxiousness attacks my body at 3 in the morning.
They should put that in a museum,
But most would say “Insignificant.”
