Franz Kline, Figure Eight, 1952 |
You lay the strokes with confidence
a master calligrapher
Awed
I watch as you create the piece
I think I know where the next brushstroke will land
but you change course
following a sketch that only you can see
(or is it all improvisation?)
You say questions of perception versus reality are pointless
that we can argue endlessly about interpretation
but it really comes down to black and white:
Either I believe you
or I don't
I don't.
