abstract

abstracts give us cause
to pause
and take
a second look

they say
"go ahead
be free to disagree
on what it is
you see

appreciate
the color
and the line
and if you find a subject
fine"


*God and other artists are always a little obscure.  ~Oscar Wilde

** Artists can color the sky red because they know it's blue.  Those of us who aren't artists must color things the way they really are or people might think we're stupid.  ~Jules Feiffer
