the artist who suffers from
hallucinations
whose drawings are a strange sustenance
psychic bread and soup for those like me
who thrive on such things, wordless figurines
goofy and horrible-sweet
psycho-sweetmeats
he's brought us objects
from within the event horizon
from the uterus of the spiritus mundi
he's brought up fish from stranger seas than yours
stained with the soup of his mind, still familiar
his creativity in force, despite whatever mind-clamor,
or the shifting of boundaries and forms,
or the sloshing of the soup.
why, he's there on the web,
and in the web
we're spiders in the same warm seas
if I could be one tenth as great,
how proud of myself I would be.
