Modern Art

"contemporary"

Find me standing by this broken canvas,

Contemplating the meaning of the shapes.

 

I’m waiting for some painful realization,

Afraid to leave without the meaning.

Perhaps it is a lesson about ourselves?

Maybe the artist cries for help?

 

Someone walks up behind me,

He stares for about three seconds,

Lets out a simple “huh…”

Then he continues on his way.

 

Am I just too ignorant to understand?

Or is this just a pile of bologna?

Perhaps you are more elevated in your pondering, while the one who utters "Huh" prefers not to dig as deeply... ignorance may be bliss, but understanding is much more fulfilling. I like this piece - makes me want to visit the art museum. :)
