How many artists
have elephants in the room
they refuse to sell?
Utrillo sold his
for routine bottles of wine.
Saatchi played dealing -
will you envy his great wealth
or fear his temper?
Business plans for a profit,
hopes for a free lunch
encourages unfairness -
money for old rope -
money from dead fish.
You can formaldehyde them
Art can deprive the starving
of good nutrients.
Graffiti Artists
are kind, paint neglected walls,
honour the hidden.
Graffiti obscures
the local map - walk on blind
or stay for the show?
