how does it make you feel

maybe there's a painting before me or not perhaps I see jagged black lines, like knives but not just lines made of paint that someone put there white spaces inbetween, so bold this artist wants us to know there's space to paint maybe I'll place my hand in my favourite colours stroke my fingers down the canvas put marks that are mine on top just because those black lines define doesn't mean they will when it's finished I don't want to spoil a painting with emotion rather than considered thought but I can't even decorate a room around this I'm not convinced of any vision for it but I just can't take it down it reminds me of how flawed I am is that even a good thing?

This poem reminds me of the black & white drawings that look like one thing , if you look at the black, and looks like another thing if you just consider the white spaces.. I wonder if there is any real stability in day to day lives. This poem is deep and interesting.
