Art Is for People Who Want to Feel Alive

Art is for people who want to feel alive-

not enter- tained, not dis- tracted, not im- proved-

a- live.

Pulse in the wrists.

Heat behind the eyes.

Sweat on the hips-

salt and gravity leaning.

Something un- purchased mov- ing under the ribs.

Art is for the ones who sus- pect this is not enough-

and dare to say so.
