Acronym



Acronym


For mediocre, ostentatious, crappy art?

I despair to think that bliss is found...

Looking at the bottom of an empty glass

At least take solace that it was a free entry pass



A perpetual frown marked my forehead

I looked around for something edible, the contents

Of a refrigerator full of unpalatable stuff

I was left famished, parched, and desolated



Through my peripheral vision

I noted a parallel drama unfolding

Men and women stoic and dignified

Surreptitiously bent their knees, tired of standing still



The sum of their days spent on guard adjacent to crap

If this is the ideal representation of contemporary art...

Then perhaps it's a reflection of the pervading indolence

Just get by -- why struggle for excellence?



It’s OK if your heart is not in it, simply get through the day

Come weekend numb the senses - quiet the mind

Sit comfortably and observe the parade, enraptured

Spectators one day to realize, that life just whizzed by
