post
was
a
little
optimistic
so
it
goes

is
extraordinary
pushing
all
boundaries
blazing
a
new
trail
for
other
serious
painters

the
emergency
exit
leads
to
nowhere

it leads to the attic
it leads to the basement
it leads to the shopping mall

trying to escape by way of the emergency exit is futile
and
counter
to
the
purpose

there is no escape from the burning house of your existence
let
it
burn

have you seen a house that has
been on fire   and that fire put out
by a crew of emergency fire fighters
it is a mess with its water soaked charred remnants

a
half
standing
besotted
ruin

the church
with its priests
the government
with its bureaucracy
are
the
fire
crew
of
your body mind soul

better
to
burn
to
ashes
than
let
them
near
