We came here by ourselves
There was a covenant
See?  I am capable of sincerity

Did I stay the same?
Kept the same personality
For seconds at a time?

Or jump out of the heart
Of a peculiar galaxy
I will never see, now.

Like Art, the hebephrenic schizophrenic
In a psychiatric movie from 1950
I attract brightness and burrowing animals

At the same time, two ends of a different stick
Remember, we came here by ourselves
That’s what Art keeps saying

Over and over the same declaration
But with assorted new words
Created just for today.

That’s Art for you, search for meaning,
All grimacing and inappropriate laughter.
