You’re an idiot.
You’re a liberal.
You’re a conservative
You’re a know it all.
You’re a racist.
You’re a pacifist.
You’re a pot smoking
Bible choking
One size fits all
Every man for himself
Citizen of these United States
Divided by
sinners.
and winners
and publicity spinners
with agendas
and Mensa
and bad influenza
with the social security
of your right to free speech
or to preach
what you practice
behind closed doors.
You’re nothing waiting to happen.
You’re homeless
In debt
You’re filled with regret
You’re hungry for more
You’re rich
Or you’re poor.
You’re an elitist.
You’re a religious zealot.
Either way, you’re going to hell for it.
You’re an atheist.
You’re a gun toting,
Tea party voting,
Crazy, lazy,
Soccer mom
Teacher
This week’s feature
Flavor of the week,
Predator of the meek
An intruder
A divider
A prophet and decider.
You’re all that (and more)
You’re a murderer.
You’re a sheepherder.
You’re a baby killer
A tear spiller.
You’re violent.
You have the right to remain silent.
You’re a bigot.
You’re a bitch.
You’re a ho.
You’re a witch.
You’re this or you’re that
You’re skinny or fat.
You’re a socialist
vegetarian,
contrarian,
libertarian
a snob with a job
with or without God
You’re a homophobe.
You’re the mirror image of the globe.
You are special.
You’re a white supremacist.
You’re an equal opportunist.
You’re nothing but trouble.
You’re a rebel.
You’re a communist.
You’re on my do not call list.
You’re unstable.
You’re a label.
You’re left winged.
You’re right.
You’re wrong.
You’re not alone.
We all are.
In this together.

And for better and for worse.
Welcome to another dress re- hearse all
Of greed
And speed
And the need
To heed
That we are bleeding from the inside out.
Enough Said.

Rated.
and added an amazing painting.
This speaks to me right now because I feel so deeply confused by recent events. I struggle to understand "Why" and "How" these things happen.

Sweetie, your brain is a cotton candy machine for titanium ore. Or maybe plain old reliable iron. I recognize the result, I know where it came from, but where did you get that fabulous mechanism?
Words like you. I can think of no greater thing to be liked by.
I picture you here clicking your heels, for all of us trudging Americans, to remind us we are limber, still.
Just once I would like to make art alongside you. Not too many words, nothing that directly references our decisions, but grins. Yep: grins. And messy fingers.
The later: some port.
yes you are
Powerful art work. R
No really Cartouche, I thought you did a great job on this.
