Life Imitates ART

Life
a creative force.
ART 
a creative force.
Life
unpredictable
and often frustrating.
ART
unpredictable
and often frustrating.

Making a living in 
the ARTS
is just the worst thing to 
predict
and 
depend on.
So we shore up that weakness
with second jobs
of 
teaching
or bartending.

I have never done this
but it is so
common
it becomes part of the labor force.

ART is
THE most 
volatile of all
professions
and yet there are many of us
trudging away and
creating ART anyway.

Life is volatile and
leaves little to the imagination
and yet we still do it
and trudge through it every
day.
