I wrote the following 5-6 years ago, stumbled on it this morning, tighten it up a bit and FWIW, stuck it up here…
Updated ’17: classified in poetry. :P
Saturday I spoke with an interesting artist whose work is being shown in a museum.
He said many things. Some brilliant!
Some not as much.
Some not at all. But it depends.
It depends:
On the/your environment On the/your situation On the moment in time On your perspective On your background On your humor On your back pains On your digestive system On who is in front of you On who is behind...
So it can be complicated.
Yet a formula appeared...
He said:
“it is always too complicated, we need to simplify it if we want to face it”
Although those are not his words, they are mine.
They are mine because I can't remember exactly what he said.
And if I quote him wrong It might make him angry.
He was that type of guy. Perhaps.
But when simplified, things are not the same.
So it's complicated...
