"This is art!"
pronounced the woman who was blind.
"I've seen better,"
mused the man standing far behind.

"You're missing the meaning,"
his aunt told him over the phone.
"What a provoking piece,"
posted the professor online, sitting alone.

"A ****** depiction,"
said the professor's Facebook friend.
"You are ignorant,"
typed the lawyer, pressing send.

"I must have it!"
boomed the lawyer's wealthy client.
"But you haven't even seen it,"
the lawyer reminded the business giant.

"I don't need to see it!
I'll just send them a lot of cash!"
Four days later at his door,
the businessman found a pile of trash.
cry me a river
the ocean is the most deep
In salty waters we don't sink
i was once a piece
of beautiful paper,
cut into a heart-shape,
colored with red and
neatly placed at the left
side of my chest.

and then you came
with your heart on fire,
i am enchanted by your warmth
that i let you embrace me.
but i never thought that your fire,
would burn me down.

i was once a piece
of beautiful paper.
but now,
i am no more than
a piece of small gray particles,
ashes,
forgotten ashes
scattered by the wind

never to be found
