I write poetry, short stories, and journal entries about my family, friends, crime, drama, and sometimes life.

In Picasso's Studio (Insp. by Gertrude Stein & Alice B. Toklas)
Less modern.
Something painful and beautiful there
and oppressive but imprisoned
Pale and at once bright
Unfinished and probably not finishable.
The queer danger of color;
Of art mixed with sexuality.
Unnatural.
We strive to be at odds with nature.
Do I want to unlearn humanity?
Nature is frightening and society keeps me safe.
Desire drives us to face nature;
It slaps our face for insolence
So some of us are not natural.
More modern; Less natural.
Hi tech/ lo brow, mass produced, cheap and plastic
Socially policed, censored, opaque and oblique
Outrage at the unnatural freedom of others
We are not like this and prefer the company of the
Socially inspired, in your face, offensive and obtuse, the
Intuitive, Intelligent, Individual, Immoral and Ingenious.
More modern; More natural.
