It would be
a psychotic friend
who would look at the work
you choose to share and say,
"This is shite! You should be ashamed,
You'll never make a living from this,
you fool!"
I like you:
that means, I like what you do
and I like the fact that you share it.
Remember this when your art makes me smile -
it does not necessarily mean that you are a genius
It simply means you have a friend
and that might be enough.
Some may achieve
objective experience
and a final, infallible arbitration of good and bad.
But I like it
when art and life hold hands
and stroll off into the sunset.
