Silence and Art

4-17- Silence

Psychedelic bubbles 
in my cooling hot chocolate
The frothy surface like the 
life giving neoprenic sludge
(hypothetical scientific origin)
Bubble’s spectrum slightly amiss
from rainbow hues
and universal in its colorful rotation
Observed,  enthralled
for an unknown amount
but my worst fears arrived
in time only necessary motion
Alas there was no big-bang


Art?

Perhaps too post modernistic
to sell out an auditorium
but such latent haphazardness
was used on the
black and white
paint spattered
silver chair shadowed
by approaching set
and the anticipatory ants
who watched my mountainous meal 
crumble
(dare I to defend what’s left)
No, for I can appreciate
the natural nature
of artistic corrosive disorder

CS Parker, if I saw ants at my picnic meal gathering to help themselves, I would run!This is a great poem. Well done.
