Manure

Let's workshop this poem about our duty to the artist who stands above the bronze-soul toils of marketing and promotion.

Manure

An artist can be 
so pure, so noble, 
that he will knowingly 
ensure his obscurity 
rather than stoop 
to mucking up his hands

with marketing—
and it is the duty 
of those who love art
to toil in his stead, 
slinging such manure 
from rooftops!
