Pain is not art, or so they say
And boy, Do I agree.
Pain when is up for auction is more like the idea of pain.
Not pain by itself.
Art is a window to another world.
And I have to stop you right there.
There is no other world.
Just the idea of it. Whatever you do in your mind with it is your business.
Money is always on demand
And I don't know how to put this gently:
Pain and art and money and business is the lullaby
sung by modern dealers and the newly rich lusting for a spotlight
where everyone sings and chorus along
on an ever shrieking note
And that ever growing distorted chant
is the loud end of culture as we know it.
