Best Idea
the idea of you is
enough to get me started
I imagine you
with the desires of an artist
I put you in a natural setting
I pencil myself in
tear you up and redraw your body
in various positions
dreams come true
after so much work is put in
the world is cruel
full of untalented critics
beauty in the eye of the beholder
maybe you’re my best work
it may take ages for the world to discover
what the painter saw first
