HOW ONE THING LEADS TO ANOTHER
Reading of Gaugin and Stein, Picasso and Beckett
leads me to believe one doesn't need to be a particularly
good person to make great art but rather must have a certain
unflagging allegiance to the authenticity of one's perceptions.
Just now the air is so clean and so clear yet wet I want to swallow
it which is sure to get out of hand and I will want to drink
too much of it and all at once and rules will have to come in
like only drink the sky four days per week or only drink a
small sky or half a sky or a light sky or only swallow the sky
when you're in company or outside your own home and
never is it a good idea late at night to lie in bed drinking
the cool dark wet sky with an autobiography that claims to be
something else but everyone knows exactly what it really is.
