drawing fish under fluorescent light by Stephan Ansteylittle pencilled 'o' fish
circling mistakes
and calling themselves art
school sing in bubbles
no sham no pain
only bubbles
and the joy of of a wordless life
on paper, colorless,
the water is the nothing
sketched empty
and negative
where they swim
they turn, all as one
blur, one refraction
of the sunshine
they turn back, all as one
notion, one reflection
of the frenzy
little art 'o' fish, all lights
only real as the pencil and the pad
and the artificial light
from which they were born. 02/02/2011 Posted on 02/02/2011 Copyright © 2023 Stephan Anstey
