Artists die twice!
once when they stop breathing,
and again when everyone forgets
their name and their work fades
away into nothing.
I don’t really chase immortal
fame anymore
(though if it comes, cool, haha)
I just make art so that long after
I’m gone—after my body’s been burned
to dust and poured into the river—
my son and grandkids can still
look at it and feel that I was here.
That’s already more than enough
for me.
Thank you for reading my idiot post
