I Actually Really Enjoy When People Leave Random Objects In Art Galleries And People Start Treating Them

i actually really enjoy when people leave random objects in art galleries and people start treating them as if they're art. I think it puts people into a headspace where they start looking at normal objects differently and its an opportunity for them to realize that they can do this too outside of a gallery setting. You're not dumb or tricked for seeing something on the floor of a gallery and trying to figure it out or appreciating it as an art object. The world is full of beautiful and interesting objects even some random garbage on the street is worthy of that same level of examination. Theres art everywhere if you're primed to see it.

When I took it the first time it occurred to me that it was lacking in nuance

-

When I see myself in others I can't help but be happy for them

-

I'm often bored

And I struggle to say it without saying it

-

At times it appears enrichment is my primary motivator

What a blessing, then, to live in such an enriching world

With so many goodies

-

I'm scared though

To say it I mean

The Quick Brown Fox Jumps Over The Lazy Dog

That sentence contains secret significance

I will not elaborate

I LIVE IN A VAMPIRES CASTLE

-

I run down the walls and seep into the floorboards

-

Parts of me get caught in the doorways

-

At times I feel like the echo of an echo

-

The nature of my existence is thus that I'm a metaphor for the things you leave behind

-

I've never wondered who I used to be

-

I still haven't said it

I'm still afraid

-

despite my present affliction I still care what others think

-

When they say something funny I laugh

-

I rehearsed this

This poem is a window into the mind of a–

I'm still afraid to say it

There's consequences to being the way I am

From another perspective

There's consequences to being the way anyone is

childhood is captivity

An older boy asks me if i want to play a game

I don't remember the end of this story but I know how it ends

Childhood is captivity

I come to in a dark house

My hands and feet are covered in blood

I don't remember how this story begins but i know how it started

Childhood is captivity

The overarching theme of my youth and young adulthood is fear

The cage I outgrew had four walls and a brown panel door

The cage that outgrew me was a line of trees i was far too afraid to pass

Childhood is captivity

An ode to a white claw shoved in the back of the fridge

Wow

It's you

That object of my deepest most secret desires

I swear no one has ever felt longing like this longing I feel for you

It seems to permeate like the summer sun

Or the winter wind

The way it fills me

The way you fill me

This dreaming of you

Like a cancer it corrupts my mind till all i can articulate is my wanting for you
