i know it is cooler to make art
than doing most other jobs
but still, please, make sure
that what you make is real art.

since we do not know
what exactly is real art
there is a chance
that in all the hype
you tricked yourself into believing
that what you make is real art.

i will help you
figure out what real art is
but you will have to trust me.

it takes
only few seconds
to write a poem

no one can
really tell if its
good or bad

there is
a tiny chance
kids will have
those stupid
what-does-it-all-mean
discussions
in school
about your poems

while musicians
and painters
need decades
to perfect their
abilities

you do not need
any education or training

the less you know
better your poetry
will be

you hardly need
to know how to spell
or even speak

if no one
has any clue
what your poems
are about
this is perfectly
acceptable

yet poems are
somehow
so very cool

just so
very very cool
