Charlie Smith Poet Light Verse

Notes About The Poem

It's Art

If what I am doing is called Art
then this must be an attempt
to recuse myself from my own mortality
by leaving a record of personal accountability,
spurring imaginations to judge its spirituality,
dispelling my propensity for any ambiguity.
Sure that's it.
It's Art!
