a message to my nieces + nephews

art is important

this we know is true.

it's in everything we do

even in the mornin'.

when steam fogs the mirror

after your early shower

do you draw a flower,

or maybe a bear having dinner?

do you walk in the kitchen

humming a tune

or skipping like a loon?

it's all art, if you have the vision.

now, you should see the truth.

any art is worth more than riches

because anything ambitious

has a beginning and end.

but art.

art and time are old friends

they can't let the other go

without feeling sad, y' know?

that's why they always make amends

and just keep goin' on, together.
