Playing God

Image source: fromoldbooks.org

It’s by accident

That I discovered

I am an artist.

I want my work

To be just so,

not a line here

not a line there.

I don’t have time

for others’ ideas

in my work. It’s my

Creation and let me

have the freedom

to do it my way.

It’s a work of art

after all and not

the day’s work.

“All my life

I have swallowed

Your irritations

And carpings.”

Agreed, but aren’t

Artistes to be pampered?

Every detail has to be in place,

if it has to fetch appreciation.

The purpose of art is to

imitate God in controlling

One’s creation. My life’s story.

dolls

What better thing
to do
on a weekend
than
to clean up
your masks?
I took them out
and while
doing it,
a faded
newspaper fell out
too
showing
the faded dolls on it.
A cord floated in
from nowhere
with words
strung into it.
Even faded dolls
can be attractive
to children,
it said.
I couldn't stand
it, but then
one of the masks
said,
hey let it hang
in there;
it livens up
the room.
