My Enthusiasm Sometimes Dies
I went to my art studio to view my latest paintings,
because frankly, I had completely forgotten what I was
working on, or whether I was working on anything.
I recognized none of the paintings on first glance,
then one of the skies rang a bell. I remember adding too
much glitter and being annoyed with myself. They are all
my style, and I have used my favorite colors, so I guess they
are my paintings.
My signature neons grin at me from three or four unfinished
canvases. Pinks, blues, yellows, greens, reds, and lots of oranges.
I love orange! It is maybe my favorite color this year. My enthusiasm
for these canvases has waned, maybe totally died even. She expired
so quickly, I do not care about finishing them.
Like my poetry, I often do not recognize facets of my personality
as she flings herself onto a page, into a word processor, or against
a rough linen canvas. These ideas clearly live within, but so deep,
I do not bother to keep them in my conscious mind or cherish
them after I am finished with them.
I am so irreverent to my stuff, it should be embarrassing.
But it is not.
