WHY DO YOU PAINT?(a google-found poem)
Why do you paint on stained glass?
Why do You Paint Your Car?
Why do you paint the bottom of a boat?

Why do you paint fantasy?
Why do you paint the bottom part of trees white?
Why do you paint your dead with red ochre?

Why do you paint wood?
Why do you paint contemporary/abstract art?
Why do you paint a canoe black?

Why do you paint naked people?
Why do you paint the barrels?

Why do You Paint Your Car?

Why do you paint?
For exactly the same reason I breathe.

That’s not an answer.
There isn’t any answer.

How long hasn’t there been any answer?
As long as I can remember.

And how long have you written?
As long as I can remember.
I mean poetry.
So do I.
