For all Artists - Feb. 11, 2021

I’m positive you’ve fashioned at least

one lyric that would impress Maya or Billy

or brushed a stroke that Michael

could have used on the Sistine Chapel

or chiseled a masterful chip off a rock

The Thinker’s sculptor would have admired

it is because we drink from the same well

as they did when inspiration was parched

what I bet you didn’t know

is that the masters close their eyes

each time one of us swallows
