home

came back to my home city
now almost 5 years ago
after having been gone far too long
and no longer knowing who i was
not sure i ever really did
nor even wanted to
for the life of an artist
this ignorance and reluctance
is a very good thing
a perfect storm
i am free from the bondages
the modern world brings
to its inhabitants
free to create and not be
too concerned by lack
of status, money and community
that stuff might even be
a huge distraction
i suffer from a kind of
spiritual madness
always dabbling with the elements
chaos and order
melody and rhythm
sound and noise
i like to challenge people
on a very deep level
and most of them
don’t like it
in fact, i am not sure
i have ever met
anyone who does
so nowadays
i mostly keep to myself
and if i get too involved
with other humans
there is a little voice
i hear that says
leave these poor folk alone
they have enough on their plates
and that’s when i usually
disappear.
