| A Life of an “unfamous” Artist Many have fancied Themselves artists and Have painted paintings That will never be in a gallery Not to mention hang on A museum wall Or be in a band that never Gets out of the garage Or past a high school keg party To make a Sgt. Peppers Novels are written that Never are published Getting dusty and lost On a shelf Eventually thrown into the Ashbin of unrecorded History. Actors imagine Brando or Dean or Academy Awards But never do anything But a bad TV commercial or cancelled sitcom and on an on but they may have fun dreaming scheming of future glory whose story never happens and they read novels play records watch films to inspire them go to arty parties and sip wine and hang with bohemians who chatter about tofu political activism trying to look hip while some succeed most fail but whose to say that this is all for nothing? It’s the failures That Illuminates The sparkle Of the Successes And Confesses The truth that To embark On This life Most likely Will be Doomed To total Insignificance. How’s that For Darkness At the end of The tunnel. |
