Rainman

RAINMAN

What is art? Is a question, focus of much conjecture
And may be the subject of many an academic lecture
“If you has to ask, you ain’t got it” is a neat deflector
But “We know it when we see it” less flippant a reflector
And  chremamorphism may clarify and serve as effector

Roles of fiction aesthetically please, in book, stage or film
But there are those who steer a life at their own helm
Write their story with such style and form that it may o’er-whelm
And we're moved, given joy by their being in reality's realm

There's one who's presence enhanced many a location
As he moved through spheres of news and education
With wit, style and verbal finesse played a role with elation

I laud him, known as 'Rainman' who’s performed such a part
That we perceive his life as a tangible work of art.
 
Thus he in his existence has embodied the aesthetic

You find me as the happy and willing perceptor
Of a life cast in a holy creator’s kiln
A divine and allegorical creation
That moves emotions such as to impart
A delight as of an experience poetic
