Art
subjective yet objective

Life
Growth, reproduction, functional activity
Meaning, purpose, goals

Does the living imitate the subject?
History is doomed to repeat itself.

Subjects once inspired art-
Why can't they inspire us now?

We have nothing to lose
As Epimetheus stood open-handed to us-
no inherent gifts

Yet we can
become art
romanticize each aspect
be your own subject
your life the canvas

Let your life
imitate art

The subject, but the artist nonetheless
