Sharp angles
pause for the greater effect
of the picture being portrayed
by the puppets who ensue
the damage
Jagged lines
lay still and juxtapose
the sharp angles
in an entangled
bounty of emotional
mess
Arches
sweep across
bridging the destruction
with the emotion and
create meaning
while
Color
brushes itself along
adding a dimention of
clarity and purpose
Circles
which are there for
no reason at all
do not even realize
they are a part of the picture
but pretend that they too
contribute
Texture
pops the colors and the lines
and gives them a realistic
tone and quality
People
who look upon them
do not see the beauty
or the grandeur
or the time
or the raw emotion
or the painstaking amount of work
or the love
or the hatred
They see sharp angles, jagged lines, arches, color, circles and texture out of context
with the world they see,
and so: they see nothing.
