Art Life

Never knew i was trouble
til the doctor was seeing spots
never knew i was clearly seeing
the truth when the plot thickened
and the abstract was a blessing wild card

what saint uses paints and poems
to inspire the lives of prostitutes
and the poor

who knew a simple 9 x 11 picture frame
could save a life
a picture worth a million words
depending on which slide
or chainletter you are playing along
