in the art school of hard knocks course 101
there are historic distinctions that weed for authenticity
it seems as if everyone has discovered and dipped a pinkie toe
into an interpretation of what they believe art is for not or better
but without the requisite suffering context experience or pain
there are no shortcuts in fact there are no destinations or reasons
just because one can afford to purchase a camera or use an app
does not an artist make -- on the contrary
if your work cannot be proofed with blood* -- unless it subtracts
from your end days -- don't count me as interested or impressed
it is as ok to frighten others as it is to terrify yourself
i've seen probably way too much for myself and others so
it is illuminating when exactly half of the seven rules of influence
are completely not just ignored but totally violated on purpose
with nothing left to prove or demonstrate anymore
one can simply stop caring and simply produce in purity
