Poem #384 for Joanne Ruocco

Where you from?
“New York.”
What do you do?
“I am a poet.”
And for money?
“I direct…commercials”
Sorry
“Yea”
Art is art.
“As long as it is created.”
What ya mean?
“Recycling only saves the environment.”
Ain’t it too late for original thought?
“Don’t mean ya can’t try.”
Settling’s the issue?
“Recognition is.”
Deep
“Creates expectations and most artists only -”
- give the people what they want -
“- instead of what needs to be created.”
Save the world -
“- and slander the soul.”
Ain’t that a cynic’s view?
“The artist is critical.”
The other adjectives?
“Just descriptions within the cynicism.”
So, good luck, then?
“Naw…I trust in this journey…”
Good travels, then…
