So hey
I am sitting here again
Without paper or
Pen
Computer technology releases me
From the intricacy of
of creativity
I'm not knocking all you computer babes
And I'm not knocking your ignorance
I'm just saying
As saying goes
Can't learn if you have no pretense
Can't write if you've never made paper
Can't sing if you've never had wine
Can't cry if you've never truly been fucked up
Can't claim to have any kind of time lime
Can't live if you haven't
died once
CANNOT WALK A CHANGING LINE
Can't drive if
you've crashed more than once
Just take another life
And
By the way
Did you know
The dancers in the Degas paintings were prostitutes?
Did you know that Toulouse-Lautrec
Captured only debauchery
As he placed himself in the forefront of
his rejected dwarf life,
did you know you wouldn't have talked to him?
Did you know that most artists live completely on the whim
of acceptance
and understanding
and guide lines
Did you know?
When you looked 'round the room
for your muse
that she wouldn't ever
talk to
you?
Given the opportunity
She might be
Too clouded by her
iView
iPod
iPad
iPhone
iToo
iMUCH
I am surrounded by dead
and
unappreciated
Art
because it is what inspires me
But would
(that you could)
find someone new
unafraid
unexposed
overdone
completely retold
would
you?

about half of that.
I do believe I would have spoken (& probably gotten along quite well) with Henri Toulouse-Lautrec - - at least before things got serious.
Otherwise, yes:
