Cubism Is My Favorite Art

Cubism is my favorite art. I love making silly blockheaded people, pretending Ignorance as to why I would have drawn certain Wonderful people in this manner. I grin diabolically as I cartoon them with cubed heads, And uppity squared off eyes, looking shifty. Blocked noses high in the air, looking square-pigged snooty. My grin gets bigger and bigger as I draw… I think I started to do this in third grade, as a defense Mechanism when Ms. Smells – not her real name, but her real attitude Was too superior to help us in any way, angry if we did not Understand the concepts she galloped through at a sixth grade level. It is just something that came to me, I said innocently, Presenting her with her caricature with a flourish, Pretending this was a wonderful compliment. She seemed pleased, not realizing the extent of the insult. So at the ripe age of eight, I accidentally discovered I can get in my licks, even against haughty grownups, in the name of art, By seventh grade I did not always remember to do it with a smile, So it did not work nearly as well. But this in no way wiped out my love of cubism.
