Follow Your Art

Follow Your Art






follow your heart



they say



new age hallmark
drivel



I say



I’d sooner follow
a fragrant fart



in the wind
which bloweth
where it listeth
than the idiotic dictates
of pheromonic pharaohs



hell bent on enslaving



me body and soul



better to follow



the rough contours
of inchoate inspiration



shy crafty muses



murmuring sweet



nothings



in my invisible
ears
