This is art

It’s art because I say it’s art

If you don’t like it,

you’re not smart

you aren’t cultured enough to understand it

Maybe I’m exploring

the inner psyche of an angsty teen

or an immature adult

Maybe I’m making a statement

about our political system

It doesn’t matter

if you can’t see where I’m doing this

Just pretend you can

Pow!

Instant intellectual

What’s this silly font?

Could’ve written this in five minutes

Maybe I did

Maybe I’m that good

Maybe I spent weeks on it

Agonizing over little details

not Capitalizing

certain words

Random one line stanza

Ten thousand dollars

Someone would pay

I bet

To impress friends

Who don’t get it

This is art

It’s art because I say it’s art

You’ll like it, dammit

I’m a genius
