Artrinsic

perhaps,
if i wrote nonsensical fantasies,
spread,
over,
lines -
i'd come across as more than i am,
bubblewrapped in palatable inertias,
puddled sand walks idly,
abstraction becomes nonsense - and that's the way i like it,
i am deep and brutal,
do,
not,
criticise me;
art is whatever i say it is.

Author notes

Complete pisstake. So titled because a lot of people assume that anything written in words is intrinsically artistic.

    Very thoughtful write! The wording you used was great, as well as the style, putting few words on one line. Good job!

      The few words on one line was a joke: I'm poking fun at poets who do it.

      "if i wrote nonsensical fantasies,
      spread,
      over,
      lines -
      i'd come across as more than i am,"

      And it had the desired effect!

    thought these lines WERE GREAT:" bubblewrapped in palatable inertias,
    puddled sand walks idly,
    abstraction becomes nonsense - and that's the way i like it,
    i am deep and brutal," and the ending fit superbly to the over-all intent!
    ARTRINSIC is a fine title and reading first/last together is a unexpected delight "perhaps - art is whatever i say it is" YES! thanks for sharing regards zaj

      The point of those lines is they don't mean anything - I can't be bubblewrapped in an inertia you can taste, sand doesnt puddle, walking isn't idle. I'm pointing out how badly you can use words and still convince people you're an artist. Thanks

      it's a pisstake. art isn't whatever i say it is, it's whatever's beautiful. not everything written in words is beautiful. thanks for taking the time
