In answer to Ann's "What is Art"
Oh webs of mind they knit our spirit to their
wondrous wiles, they bind our thoughts in
beautiful knots, those memory knots
now severed by the adult norms
and yet through their shredded stands
there is a glimpse of space with forms of
grace, another face, and other works of art
if only we can see and understand
beyond the common ignorance
into the deep philosophies of man
where brians before us flowered, placed their
theories grand and numerous
for others to command and use
some to amuse and shock
and what were they, the aesthetic
joys of senses not to mock but know and use
in every day's long bland hours what bliss
we have the key to this and kiss the
page on which they wrote those poets
now long dead, we listen to what they said
and wing our wingless bodies
with another hand, we poets
yes 'tis we who understand.
Or is it? Ann.
