                Writing is the artform of expression:

                Identify with the theme of the artwork

                And you can identify with the author,

                Identify with the author

                And you can identify with intent, with

                Cultural landscape, biography, with social origin,

                Family, with the psychological markers

                That’re ascribed to our very humanity.

.

.

This place, is an arena. It is 

Practice - we look to what others 

Respond to, find patterns

Analogous to the world at large.

And every beauty - whether genuine

Or calculated - each banality,

Each ugliness, remains but a reflection

Of the very qualities, conditions,

.

Of what bind us to who we are.

.

.

                I don’t know what to make of that. But

                I cannot help it

If when given a good enough look,

                I find myself at the end of a telescope,

.

                absolutely

.

disgusted.
