Poem "Artspeak" plus Giant Cosmic Frog

"Giant cosmic frog devours the moon." Watercolor and ink.
I love making wacky artist statements, so here's one. The painting is one I sold on eBay a couple years back. Wanted to use one appropriate to the poem.

Artspeak

Observe this Painting to our left:

Every brushstroke crisply deft.

Its crypto continuity

restrains the ambiguity,

and pure aesthetic form

that culminates the norm

of cultural gratuity

in socialized vacuity.

The Artist cannot be concerned

with anything she ever learned

of figure, form, or gravity,

perspective, or anatomy.

Her attitude is sunny:

she hopes to make some money!
