The only true thing is art.
Politics are all about angling –
Zooming in
Zooming out
Spinning versions of the truth
Lying
Rationalizing
Hyper fixating
Ignoring.
Academia is all about pondering –
Exploring
Examining
Re-examining
Creating space
Asking questions
But all from within an incubator.
Art is messy.
Art is painful.
Art is ethereal and grounded.
Art makes us uncomfortable,
Art is transparent in its manipulation
And ironic in its transparency.
Art is life untethered.
Art is truth uncorrupted.
The only true thing is art.
