He would have been an artist but that being was now lost hidden beneath the folds of fleshy strata hanging like a neurosis, soft as adipose lost under his belly. He may have been a father but that too was lost under the pendulous judgement of his blunted dreaming state. He could have been a sculptor an artist as they would have said, instead he now whittles archaic spoons with which to sup from his sad bucolic dreams. In between aspirations, as a hobby, he runs his fat fingers through women's hair, a round eyed would be Taoist, wending prayers through lost valleys. And for a living he pins tails on donkeys calls himself an eastern practitioner. A Zen mystic . An acupuncturist.

Adipose Tissue and Artistry
