A Art
Noah Berlatsky
Art’s always a mask as sad as lack.
Canary sans cantata; palm sans palm.
All art’s an art that cracks:
a flaw, a wart, a fart, a black
mark that mars a chalky swan.
Art’s always a mask as sad as lack.
Play a harp; bang! bang! thwack!
Draw a man–halt! That’s a prawn?
All art’s an art that cracks
a savvy scalp as karma tanks,
an ass abyss, a crappy psalm.
Art’s always a mask as sad as lack.
All maps, all cars, all almanacs
crash athwart a path at dawn.
All art’s an art that cracks
and blasts away at the attack.
An “a” falls aft; all apt and wan.
Art’s always a mask as sad as lack.
All art’s an art that cracks.
