alas, it became art

alas, it became art.


if I can not touch it,
if it is sealed, kept, set apart from now,
from using it,
if it is owned, stored or dated,
I don't think it counts.

too much pseudo-intellectual, ironic marketing
ownership, consumerism, reverence
suffocates that part of it that was ever
true to what it said it was.
