I felt so skinny
After a hot run today –
That folks drawing me –
Could draw me with just five sticks –
A head and a dick

Notes to this poem…
Pleaded guilty to drawing
The figure I wished to see –
Not the one in front of me –
And making her look better –
A nice but misleading sketch –
Am I good at the former?
Or just bad at the latter?

Notes to this poem…
It’s just a flower –
Don’t look for anything more –
Like birds, leaves or tongues

Crazy busy day –
Yet – I avoided
Eating any McDonald’s

Bouquet of flowers –
Bought for art – not love –
Thank goodness since they’re plastic!

Notes to this poem…
The world’s great artists –
They all have a muse –
I will soon get mine –
Will that make me great?
We’ll find out in time

Notes to this poem…
When a life drawing
Gets eroticized –
I call it a lust drawing

Notes to this poem…
Just got caught smoking –
And just got caught nude –
But only in a drawing

Notes to this poem…
All aspects of my life –
Will converge like drawn lines
To a vanishing point –
Some time in the future –
Hopefully a very –
Very distant future

When a life drawing
Gets eroticized –
It feels like it has more life

Notes to this poem…
When able to draw
People without a model –
Must fight temptation
To cast people I see as
Life drawing models
