watercolor wisdom

Post by saw »

she was painting and I was watching
no not secretly, I was in the room
she liked to talk philosophy and shit
while she glided over her earlier washings
and we watched the colors bleed
into each other and she said to me
"Fuck political correctness, if you start
worrying so much that you may offend
someone with every word that drips off
your lips, you will inevitably fail miserably
to adequately express yourself,
it's just like those time motion studies
that my company does every so often,
they fail to notice our humanity."
I said, you're the first person I ever met
that could paint with your hand
and your mouth at the same time.

Major compliment. This is the way to talk with each other. Art isn't correct, right? Painting isn't afraid. "Perfect love casts out all fear." This is lovely.

HaHa painting, but it was like they were eating.
I think it's fabulous, in relations of course.
