Bowing Out

an orderly & uneventful
          departure

so as not to detract
(or distract)

i am a lower lifeform
a filthy fingerprint
on the great green screen
 of creativity                                 they've super-imposed
                                                            corrosion

 just another carbon footprint
  that's what the stars
    are telling me
                                                         (BUY) High definition
                                                                        mediocrity
    they are arrogant as
they falsely advertise infinity
with pinpricks of light
 in their photo-shopped eyes
                                                                            gracing pages
                                                                            of best selling
                                                                              magazines
     i have to sell
everything including myself
they set the scene

i immediately exit
     stage left

  1. Sometimes it all get to be a bit much, but marketing is a necessary evil when one has product to deliver. I'm conflicted. Sometimes I think it would be nice to get away from it all. I'm pretty sure there would be a lot that I would miss about where I am now.

  2. screw that. marketing is not a necessary evil. (no offence, arlee.) there is art for art but necessarily it must be done for free and for no call, not even for an audience. it is a difficult place to be inside of while in this world but if you let this world go, this high definition mediocrity (we should bow out of this, this false construct), then art for art, life for life, it is the best/most rightful/holiest place to be.
