Conditional
Leda Muscatello
When I say I’m an artist, what I really mean is
I didn’t bother to fix my hair.
Possibly it means it’s raining
and we all have lost control, if only a little.
Lacking structure and form,
it was bound to happen this way.
And finally, keeping in mind this is conditional,
it can mean a more hands-on sort of pollution.
Of self.
Of hair styles.
Of muses and monsters.
A score to be celebrated and scorned
simultaneously.
When I say I’m a product of my own weather,
I will only do so with an umbrella
in my hand.
