Clone creations of symmetry’s beauty,
skillfully stamped with their masterful production,
pamphlets handed out with each production,
defining its metaphor magic.
Brains becoming museums
instead of studios,
stop seeing canvases in the sky,
the heart doesn’t feel brushes,
eyes only envision white walls,
colors left on doorstep
to forgotten chambers.

This is so true:
"Brains becoming museums
instead of studios,"
We concentrate in society and even here on production, churning out the art, conforming to "prompts" in a race to be prolific and to prove to ourselves that we ARE poets worthy to be read, instead of valuing the process of writing and improving.
Even our pages can be "mini museums". But if we don't spend sufficient time experimenting, "playing" in the studio, we are just "cranking it out", like a job.
I want to be a studio!
