IT DOESN'T MATTER
WHICH IS WHY IT
MATTERS, & BECAUSE
IT MATTERS, IT
DOESN'T MATTER
--*--
IT COMES DOWN
TO THIS, THIS
WHOLE EXISTENCE
OF FACES & NAMES
SPOKEN ONCE
THEN LOST IN
A WASH OF PSYCHE'S
KNOWN. WE STARE
LOVINGLY @ THE
THINGS WE CREATE,
KNOWING FULL
WELL THE DISGUST
WE WILL FEEL WHEN
WE LOOK BACK ON IT
@ A FUTURE DATE.
--*--
OUR CREATIONS
ARE IMPORTANT
BECAUSE WE
CREATED THEM,
& THE ACTION OF
CREATION WAS A
MAGICAL MOMENT
WHERE WE TRANS-
CENDED OURSELVES,
A BECOMING OF
DIVINITY IN
ESSENCE, FOR WHAT
IS A GOD BUT A
CREATOR?
--*--
& BECAUSE IT DOESN'T
MATTER, IT MATTERS.
BECAUSE WE, AS
CREATORS, KNOW
WE ARE MERELY
MASTURBATING
INTO THE VOID
THE ACT TAKES
ON A NEW SIG-
NIFICANCE. WE
ARE FREE TO
CREATE, FOR WE
SEE THE ABSURD-
ITIES OF CREA-
TION & WE KNOW
THAT OUR ART
IS NOT THE ART-
WERK WE CLAIM
AS OURS, BUT
THAT OUR ART
IS THE ABILITY
TO TRANSCEND
THIS FLESH &
THIS MIND & THIS
TOO SOLID MATTER
UPON WHICH GRAVITY
HAS FORCED US TO
REST, & WE ARE ART.
WE HAVE NO PURPOSE
BEHIND THAT PURPOSE
W/ WHICH WE
CREATE.
WE ARE NOT AT-
TEMPTING TO
CONTROL WHAT
WE CREATE, &
SELDOM DO WE
ACTUALLY KNOW
WHAT WE CREATE,
EVEN AFTER THE
FACT, FOR WHEN
THE INK & PAINT
HAS DRIED, WE
STILL DO NOT SEE
THE PICTURE
BEFORE US.
IT TAKES A LIFE-
TIME OF SEEING
TO SEE WHAT WE
MADE W/ OUR
LIVES, W/ OUR
ART, W/ OUR SOULS.
POETS & PAINTERS,
SCULPTURES & MUSICIANS
ACTORS & FICTION
MAKERS, WE ARE
THE HOLY ONES, WE
ARE THE PRIESTHOODS,
THE MONKS OF THESE
CULTURES.
WERE THE SHAMANS
NOT ALSO THE
PLAYWRIGHTS?
THE PAINTERS OF
SACRED VISIONS
& ILLUSTRATIONS?
THEY WERE THE SEEKERS
OF VISIONS TO BE
SURE, THEY TOOK
STRANGE DRUGS
UNDER ODD SKIES
& TWISTED IN NEW
& UNUSUAL WAYS TO
DRUMS HEARD ONLY
IN THEIR MIND.
--*--
SO ALSO ARE WE
FOR WE ARE
THE PRIMAL
FORCE, THE
MYTHMAKERS
--*--
WE ARE THE ART-
ISTS, THUS WE
ARE THE MAGI.
