This is a line, you see
A single line, so simple
Don't ask questions, please
It just is.
Now draw two more lines.
This is a flower
Your first idea
But remember it's not yours
Seven lines, now.
This is a human
This is you
Draw hair to specify gender
Thirty-two lines
I teach you to draw a box
What's inside the box?
I told you; don't ask questions
But here it has come,
The time to let you draw yourself
But let me tell you how to do it
'It's for your own good, honey'
But there are some things
That cannot be explained
How to shade;
Much too complicated
'Now go draw your own lines'
Go create your own world
Draw love, draw pain
Draw anger, draw patience
There will come a time
When I am no longer
But keep drawing;
It is as you are.
