<p>I bought a statue from a fire sale the other day<br />
from the house down the street that went up in flames<br />
because my friends always scream about taking life by the reins<br />
and nothing really happened on my birthday anyways</p>
<p>Ive finally learned how to draw<br />
with the statue posing in front of the window, greeting guests<br />
who knock on my door and ask for portraits<br />
or simply to purchase a memory from long ago</p>
<p>the cold marble provides a great companion<br />
as those who linger pose in place<br />
behind the easel, the pencil flies all on its own<br />
such a beautiful passive income</p>
<p>the paper shakes my soul with sanity<br />
but to others, I seem insane<br />
how dare I call myself “artist” and live<br />
without the empty stomach to qualify my name</p>
